Default Copy cells from a excel file that filename changes daily.

Sub GetFPSkillby15()
sname = Dir("FP Skill by 15 Min_*.xls")
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
sName
Rows("1:65").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("David of Chart Daily-FP 08-10-06.xls").Activate
Range("A26").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=True
Sheets("Data Input").Select
End Sub

I have a file titled FP Skill by 15 min_12345678.XLS. Howeve each day
the _12345678 part of the file name changes.

I wuold like to open that file and copy some cells out of it with a
macro. The one below works fine if I have the excat name of the file in
it, but I would like it to just open any file LIKE FP Skill by 15
min_*.XLS. The astrick does not work for me.

Sub GetFPSkillby15()
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"FP Skill by 15 min_*.XLS"
Rows("1:65").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("David of Chart Daily-FP 08-10-06.xls").Activate
Range("A26").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=True
Sheets("Data Input").Select
End Sub

Any ideas.

Both files are located in the same folder.
