Surely, if that code is in the workbook, when you open it it will already
be active, so the code is unnecessary?

We have the following line in an Excel macro

Windows("May 06 Outlook - prelim.xls").Activate

I believe the macro is attached to the document "May 06 Outlook -
prelim.xls". Next month this doc will be modified and renamed to "June
07 - prelim.xls". Is there a way to soft-code the document name (into a
variable?) here so that every time this macro is run the variable
expands to the doc name?
