How to load these XLS files
 

I am receiving workbooks from someone who is using the filename a
follows : <TodaysDate NW AB.XLS

For example today i received a workbook with this filname...

180704 NW AB.xls

and tomorrow i will receive a workbook named

190704 NW AB.xls

Also the received files are stored in C:\CASTLE\NORTH WEST\

Please could someone tell me how to programmatically write some code t
auto load the file received without having to browse for th
file.Obviously it has something to do with Format Date but am unsure f
exactly how to do this. Also before loading the file i want to copy th
received file into D:\RECEIVED\NORTH WEST\

Thanks in advance

Name is actually a move, not a copy. I'm sure you could do the
name command, then open the sheet on the D: drive to use it. A
little modification of Tom's code should do the trick.

But, for future reference, the keyword to look up in help is KILL.

Oops. Sorry. Name doesn't work across devices. I guess you do need the
KILL after all.
