Unable to open a file using wild card through VBA, there will be only 1 file with that file name with changing dates

Question

I want to open a file "Account Master mmddyy.xls" which gets saved at a particular path, every month only date and month changes. How can I open the file with wild card using "Account Master" as that will be consistent. Only 1 file will be saved at this location with similar file name.

I tried this but it didn't work.

Sub open_file()

    Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\Users\Desktop\WORK\Account Master*"

End Sub

Answer 1

Try this:

Sub open_file()
Dim sFilename As String
    sFilename = Dir("C:\Users\Desktop\WORK\Account Master*", vbArchive)
    Workbooks.Open Filename:=sFilename
end sub
