Hello,
Everyday when I come in I have to open the an excel file from th
previous day. For instance, today I had to open “workbook 8-30.xls
and tomorrow I’ll have to open “workbook 9-1.xls”. I was thinkin
there might be a way to have this open for me automatically when I ope
Excel. Any ideas on what the macro for this should look like?
Thanks

Add this to the ThisWorkbook module of your PERSONAL.xls file;

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim flname As String
Dim path As String

path = "C:/Temp/"

On Error Resume Next
flname = Month(Date) & "-" & Day(Date) & ".xls"
Workbooks.Open (path & flname)
On Error GoTo 0

End Sub

Hope this helps
Rowan

I think that the OP wanted yesterday's date. So this line:

flname = Month(Date) & "-" & Day(Date) & ".xls"
could be:
flname = Month(Date-1) & "-" & Day(Date-1) & ".xls"
or just:
flname = format(date-1,"m-d") & ".xls"
