Open the Variables browser and browse to the date Variables. You can customize the date anyway you like but remember that you can only used allowed character for the current file system.

Ahh i see, that's why it gives me an error.

but if i use E:Archive{DATE(Month.Name)} it creates a folder called ArchiveApril in E:

but i want a folder called April in E:Archive

which would have a path E:Archive/April not E:ArchiveApril

Hi afruish,

You are almost there, you need the \ character to do this, so:

E:\Archive\{DATE(Month.Name)}

Path should be something like:

E:\Archive\{DATE(Month.Name)}
