Always reply-All when respoding to the list. Otherwise it only goes
to the individual and you lose the benefit of the "hive mind" on
the list. (I've CCd the list on this reply)

That's correct, the format string is not a valid strftime format.
I'm not certain what format you want but I suspect it might be:

newDBFileName = date.today().strftime("%y.%m.%d") + '  ' + dbFileName

Which would output something like:

2024.03.26  SomeFilename.db
