Nigel, as the name implies this is no list to offend people with either.
Analyst and Administrator is quite some difference IMHO.

Anyway Karl,

A 1-2:  0 10 * 31 *   mv filename "filename`date +%m%d%y`"

This will move the file  31th every month (that has 31 days) at 10 am.
That should give you a hint on how to do it Karl.

But otherwise try man 5 crontab to see how you set it up on your own.
