Daily I have to access an .xls file that downloads from the internet
with a different filename each time.

I want to write a macro that will delete info that I don't need and
adjust formatting that I want for this file. I think I can come up
with the meat of the code but how do I get it to work on the downloaded
file each time I download it?

I would prefer that it didn't change the file instantaneously as I
would like to verify the file first. I would like a command button to
pop up to start the process. Am I wishing for too much? I am not a
very good programmer yet so please keep that in mind when proposing
suggestions.

Thank you all very much!

You're talking about an Excel Workbook, with some macros, that at the push
of a button opens and formats another workbook.

From what I gather, you may already have the workbook open.

Here's something to work with:
Sub testit()
Dim wkbDest As Workbook

On Error GoTo e
Set wkbDest = Workbooks("Book2.xls")
On Error GoTo 0

With wkbDest.Worksheets(1)
.Rows(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 34
End With

Exit Sub

e: Workbooks.Open "C:\T\Book2.xls"
Resume
End Sub
