Default Open File Using A Wildcard

I am trying to write a macro that will be run weekly, and will open, one by
one, a series of files, extract a certain range of data, paste to a master
file, and close each source file. I cannot convince the requestor to leave
the date out of the file name, so the names of the files changes each week.

Here is a piece of the code:

Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\EnterpriseServices\ES Dashboard Laurie B 08-23-2007.xls"
Rows("4:40").Select
Selection.Copy

I tried placing an asterisk right after the initial of the person's last
name, (the "B" in this example), but of course this did not work.

Is what I am trying to do possible? If so, how? Thanks in advance!
