Default Activating an Open Workbook without using the whole filename as a reference


Apologies if this is a really simple question but I haven't been using
VBA for all that long.

I am trying to work out if I can activate an open workbook without
referencing the whole name?

Essentially every month 100 or so files will open automatically, but
each month the name changes slightly as the file name references the
month.
Therefore when I select a file I just want to use the 'constant' terms
in the name to find the file.

I have tried the below, using the * tool but it tells me the subscript
is out of range:

i.e

Application.Workbooks("MLSS*.xls").activate

Is there something fundamental I'm missing?

Thanks for any help

Joe
