Default use only part of window name in a macro

Just assign the changing filename part to a string variable. Then you
can change the variable without hard-coding the dates (and potentially
having to change it every two weeks).


Dim strDate As String

strDate = "09.18.2008 To 10.01.2008"

Windows("Time Sheet For " & strDate & ".xls").Activate
