I'm using :
Sub test()
Dim wbk As Workbook
For Each wbk In Application.Workbooks
If UCase(Left(wbk.Name, 3)) = "Exp" Then
wbk.Activate
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
With ActiveWindow
.DisplayGridlines = True
.DisplayHeadings = True
End With
Columns("A:K").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False

Exit For
End If
Next
Windows("DEF.xls").Activate
End Sub

But it does nothing, even no error.

What's wrong

Thank you very much in advance !
Tom

Hi,

I'm using a macro that opens a dialigbox to open a
file.
I know the filename begins with ABC.
ex : ABC XXXXX of ABC YYYY.

Is it possible to switch between a filename that is
always the same and ABC XXXXX
The file I know (DEF) I select with :
Windows("DEF.xls").Activate

Can I use something like Windows
("ABC*.xls").Activate ?

Thanks
Tom
