Using Wildcard on Workbooks.Open
I want to use a wildcard on the Workbooks.Open command, but it doesn't
recognize the wilcard character as being a wildcard but part of the filename. I'm concatenating two string variables into the filename. Any idea if this will work? Code: Workbooks.Open Filename:="\\Yucca\" & Name1 & "_" & Name2 & "*.xls" |

Code: Workbooks.Open Filename:="\\Yucca\" & Name1 & "_" & Name2 & "*.xls" You can't use wildcards with the Open method - you'll have to determine the exact filename. You could use the Dir$() function to ascertain the actual filename given the wildcard-based one, then pass the actual filename to the Open method. -- Regards, Jake Marx www.longhead.com [please keep replies in the newsgroup - email address unmonitored] |
