sql server reporting services : include the report date

Best case, I include the report date in the report header. Worst case, in
the subject line of the subscription email. I'm using SQL/RS v2000, VS 2003,
anybody know how I can do this? nothing crazy, just like this:

ReportName xx/xx/xxxx

I tried to add a text box into the header, just filling it w/this expression:

select LEFT(Dateadd(mm,-0,getdate()),11)

it fails indicating
'the value expression for the textbox 'textbox7' contains and error:
[BC30201] Expression expected.'

please advise

Please disregard, I got it. I included a text box with this as the
expression, everything is fine now, thanks anyway:

=Format(today()," dd MMM yy" )

oh, oh, just a slightly related question -- i've created my browser role and
i'm trying to send out this : http://webserver/reports
such that certain people can have direct access to a number of my reports
right now there's a 'Users Folders' in there along with my reports. I'm
unable to hide that. Do you know how to get rid of it?

Just an FYI, you can use expression builder, look at the global variables.
One of those has what you want.

Yes, you can remove the browser role from that particular folder. Normally
the folder inherits from the parent so all folders initially have the same
roles assigned to them. Click on the folder, properties, security and remove
the browser role. Or, if it is just that you don't want them distracted by
it, you could hide in list view (properties, general).
