Suppose you need to make a program to send emails. However, you need the emails to contain attachments, the names of which will be generated when the attachment file has been saved, and which will contain the date and time the file was saved.
Private Sub cmd_submit_Click() 'Dim the strings for use later on Dim confirm As String Dim Tijd As String Dim Datum As String Dim saveFile As String 'Set the tijd(time) and datum(date) string when its going to be saved.
