Default Open File with name incorporating ~yesterday's date

Excel Experts,

Each day, I want to open a file with path and name in the format of

T:\Statements\MMM\MCNC MMDDYY
where MMM=Current month and MMDDYY is the last business day

For example the file I opened this morning was:

T\Statements\SEP\MCNC 092005

For reference, I've used the following code to save a file with today's date
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"T\Statements\MyFile" & Format(Date, "yymmdd") & ".xls"

Also, I've used the following code to put the date of the last business date
in a cell:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TODAY()-IF(WEEKDAY(TODAY())=2,3,1)"

So essentially what I need to do is to replace the code
Format(Date,"yymmdd") , which indicates today's date
with code that will indicate the last business day

I tried using the code I used for the formula into a FileOpen statement but
it didn't work.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Alan
