Open File Using A Wildcard
Assuming if there is a file with a name of this type, it is the correct file
then:
Dim sPath as String, sn1 as String, sn as String
spath = "C:\EnterpriseServices\"
sn1 = "ES Dashboard Laurie B "
sn = dir(spath & sn1 & "*.xls")
if sn = "" then exit sub
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
spath & sn
Rows("4:40").Select
--

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!
