Default Check for file in folder, if not there, open folder to rename file

I have a macro that looks for a specifically named file in a folder on our
network that may have several files in it. The point of this macro is to
import the contents of the file into another spreadsheet. I can't seem to get
people to realize that this file needs to be named the same thing each week
so my macro can find it. As a result, when my macro goes to import the file

\\000\745\745670\bulkfulfillmentreport.xls

and can't find it, the macro stops in error and I have to rename the file
and restart the macro from the top. I have to do this to 9 different files in
9 different folders and they all have to be named bulkfulfillmentreport.xls

I'd like to figure out a better way to deal with this. I'm thinking some
sort of code that looks in that folder for the file, before the import
starts, and if the file can't be found, just open the folder so I can rename
the file manually. I'm getting stuck on how to make the macro wait while I
rename the file then continue after I'm done. Of course, if the macro could
rename the file for me that would be great, but I never know what some bone
head has named the file so I can't tell the macro what file to look for.
