select workbook
Hi,
I'm using a macro that opens a dialigbox to open a file. I know the filename begins with ABC. Fe ABC XXXXX of ABC YYYY. Is it possible to switch between a filename that is always the same and ABC XXXXX The file I know I select I use Windows("DEF.xls").Activate Can I use something like Windows("ABC*.xls").Activate ? Thanks Tom |

you may try something like the following: sub foo() dim wbk as workbook For each wbk in workbooks if ucase(left(wbk.name,3))="ABC" then wbk.activate exit for end if next end sub -----Original Message----- Hi, I'm using a macro that opens a dialigbox to open a file.

Dave
problem is solved you're right! Exp has to be EXP Thank you very much ! Tom -----Original Message----- This line jumped out at me. (I didn't look at anything else.) If UCase(Left(wbk.Name, 3)) = "Exp" Then Since you're checking uppercase stuff... If UCase(Left(wbk.Name, 3)) = "EXP" Then wrote: I'm using Excell 2003 Sub test() Dim wbk As Workbook For Each wbk In Workbooks If UCase(Left(wbk.Name, 3)) = "Exp" Then wbk.Activate ActiveSheet.Unprotect Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False With ActiveWindow .DisplayGridlines = True .DisplayHeadings = True End With Columns("A:K").Select Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False Exit For End If Next Windows("Quogen NeXspan 1.0.xls").Activate End Sub -----Original Message----- Hi works for me (Excel 97).
