Default Using VBA to open an excel file

Hi,

I am using VBA to open an excel file (week 40). Is there any way to
use VBA to open the last saved file (week 41, 42 etc)? I want to use
the most recent file to populate my data tables.

Many thanks

nick

Nick

Why not use the GetOpenFileName() method and select the file

Dim FName as String
FName=Application.GetOpenFilename()
workbooks.open Filename:=FName
