Default Importing and merging Excel files by using a macro

Hello,

Here is what I am trying to achieve by using a macro :
I have an Excel file open (Excel1.xls) and I want by macro to be able to
import another Excel file (Excel_ddmmyy.xls) to it.

The difficulty is that I want to import the latest version of the
"Excel_ddmmyy.xls file".
First the macro needs to search in the correct folder ("Folder") for the
latest version of "Excel_ddmmyy.xls".
There is only one sheet in that file.
Then that file has to be exported to "Excel1.xls". So "Excel1.xls" will have
a new sheet which will be a copy of "Excel_ddmmyy.xls".
Once it's done the original "Excel_ddmmyy.xls" has to be closed.

1- in "Folder" find the latest version of "Excel_ddmmyy.xls"
2- export "Excel_ddmmyy.xls" to "Excel1.xls"
3- close "Excel_ddmmyy"

Ideally the macro would launch automatically when I open "Excel1.xls".

In case it's easier, the macro could look for "Excel_ddmmyy.xls" based on
the "ddmmyy" given by me.
So if I put 010509 in "A1" then the macro will look in "Folder" for
"Excel_010509.xls".

I hope I have been clear enough (English as you can read is not my mother
tongue!).

Thank you for your help
