Hello,

This is a really useful conversation. I have learned a lot from reading it. I am also relatively new and have a related question I thoink could be answered realtively easily (or so I hope!).

I am trying to not only open a file that has a date component that is important, but also has a time stamp that I want to ignore.

For example, the file from today could either be 20120904_0900.xls (if it was run at 9AM) or 20120904_0843 (if it was run at 8:43 AM). I would like to open it whatever time it gets produced. I know it has something to do with the * function (like *.xls to open or copy every excel sheet in a folder) I have seen so often on this site but I cannot quite figure out exactly how to do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Shannon
