I currently have a macro that opens specific workbooks but I wanted to know
if there was a way to tell the macro to open the most recent workbook. I
have several workbooks that are saved as "name today's date.xls".

So it would look in this folder and find either the workbook with the most
recent date or the workbook that has been save last.

Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thank You,


Judd

Islands,
Thanks for this information. I am a little confused on how I tell
this syntax where to look. My idea was "p:\macros\", but that does not see
to work. I am trying to direct it to go to a certain directory then specific
file.


Thanks,

Judd
