Here is my present problem. I have a macro on 7 workbooks that save them with the date attached (i.e. "wkbk1 04-05-24.xls"). Now I need my eighth workbook to search the computer harddrive for these workbooks and perform the requisite tasks. Since I don't know the exact day that the files will be saved, can I use the "wkbk1 **-**-**.xls" as a search parameter, or do I have to go about it a different way? Any help would be great.
