Default Search File Windows in same Excel

Copy the below procedure to your code and call as

Sub ActivateBookwithKeyword(strSearch As String)
For intTemp = 1 To Workbooks.Count
If InStr(1, Workbooks(intTemp).Name, strSearch, 1) < 0 Then
Workbooks(intTemp).Activate

End If

Dear Expert,
Every day I need to open 6 files below.
They are ....
Workflow_090424.Xls
Reval_090424.Xls
Schedule_090424.Xls
Income_090424.Xls
DateRaw_090424.Xls
Uploading_090424.Xls

Duties are easy, routine and clerical ...
Just copy and paste, move, sum .... All can be done by Excel macros easily.

But the problem is that ...... VB scripts have to clearly mention the file
name so that it can do something on it.
Now all system generated files must add system date at the end of the file.
That's ... Uploading_090424.xls
Fixed VB scripts cannot make it ....
Someone taught me to use following InputBox

UserValue = InputBox("Which File to be used?")
Windows(UserValue).Activate

But the files are too Long to type all of them in one by one on daily basis.

Is it possible to write in VB scripts so that it can automatically enable
(activate) the windows with key words such as "Workflow", "Schedule" ?
Then Activate that windows (files) with that Key words.

Thanks so much.
