I have made up a workbook that I have called master. There is a date
area where the date is manually entered. I was wondering if there was
anyway for someone to put in the date and it automatically adds a new
workbook titled the date entered.

Thanks Jessica

You could place some code in the worksheet code module of the sheet in which
the date is entered and then use the worksheet_change event. (No error
checking in code and UK locale settings used)

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim wbNew As Workbook
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("A1"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Set wbNew = Workbooks.Add
wbNew.SaveAs Filename:="C:\" & Format(Target.Value, "dd-mm-yyyy")
End If
End Sub

This will check to see if data is being entered in A1. If it is, it will
add a workbook and save it in the root of C:\ with a file name reflecting
the date in A1. (It will error on an unrecognisable date as the date is
reformatted dd-mm-yyyy, as you cannot use forward slashes in a file name)
