Rem 2 add last file bit for use in the Dir(Fullpath&FileName, __ ) , but include wild cards... http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2056-Appendix-Thread-(-Codes-for-other-Threads-HTML-Tables-etc-)?p=11089&viewfull=1#post11089 : _(i) You can use wild cards in the full path and file name string that you give it, so it will look for a file matching your given string. ( So typically you might give a string like “C:\myFolder\*.xl*”, which would look for any excel file: In this bit *.xl* , the first * allows for any file name, and the second * will allow for extensions such as .xls , .xlsm, .xlsx, .. etc… ) _(ii) After you use like Dir(Fullpath&FileName, __ ) once, then any use after of just _ Dir __ without any arguments, will give the next file it finds based on the string you gave in the first use with arguments
'2a) Excel files
Let strWB = strWB & "*.xls*"
Dim File As String: Let File = Dir(strWB)
Debug.Print "First got by Dir(" & strWB & ")" & vbCrLf & "is " & File
