Excel macro to open file with partial filename
18,925
Try something like the code below:
Dim fname As Variant
Dim myPath As String
myPath = "D:\FORMULAS\"
fname = Dir(myPath & "BABERs FORMULAS*")
If fname <> "" Then
Workbooks.Open (myPath & fname)
End If

I have tried looking on various forums and cannot seem to find a solution that fits my needs.
I have a file "BABERs FORMULAS - 24 Jan 2017 - Rev 079 11-27.xlsm". I use a macro to save the changes to the file which adds the date, revision number and timestamp to the filename. The file is located at the following path "D:\FORMULAS".
The macro I have is as below but this then gives me a Run-time error '1004' and says to check that the spelling of the file name and verify the location is correct.
Dim fname as Variant fname = Dir("D:\FORMULAS\BABERs FORMULAS*") If fname <> "" then Workbooks.open (fname) End If
Any ideas where I could be going wrong? Any assistance would be appreciated.
