Default Wildcard to activate another window

A procedure to activate the window using a search string. If you are sure
there is not other workbook opened which contain the numeric 1 you can usel
this as
ActivateBookwithKeyword ("1")


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


If this post helps click Yes

Hello. I'm trying to make another window active which will have the file
name of "WIPDrilldownExport(__).xls", where only one character appears in the
parentheses and could be a 1, 2, or 3. The line

Windows("WIPDrilldownExport(#).xls").Activate

doesn't work. Thanks in advance.
