Is the date encoded in the file name in anyway?

I'm writing a VBA macro that compares data between the currently open
worksheet and the one produced the previous week. Right now the user has
to manually open the previous worksheet, but I thought it would be nifty
if I automatically open it.

So my question is, given a target folder cLocation and a pattern
"foo*.xls", how can I get the name of the most recent (prior to today)
matching file in that location?
