Default Wildcard to activate another window

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim myWindow As Window
For Each myWindow In Application.Windows
If LCase(myWindow.Caption) Like LCase("WIPDrilldownExport(?).xls") Then
myWindow.Activate
Exit For
End If
Next myWindow
End Sub

I usually go through the workbooks collection so I don't have to worry about any
modifications to the window's caption:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim wkbk As Workbook
For Each wkbk In Application.Workbooks
If LCase(wkbk.Name) Like LCase("WIPDrilldownExport(?).xls") Then
wkbk.Activate
Exit For
End If
Next wkbk
End Sub

Hello. I'm trying to make another window active which will have the file
name of "WIPDrilldownExport(__).xls", where only one character appears in the
parentheses and could be a 1, 2, or 3. The line

Windows("WIPDrilldownExport(#).xls").Activate

doesn't work. Thanks in advance.
