You should be able to find using application file search.
Sub OpenMostRecent()
'the execute method of the file search object returns a 'found files' collection. By sorting by creation date descending and choosing 1 for index, this should give you the newest file.
Dim sFile As String
With Application.FileSearch
.LookIn = "c:\myfolder"
.Filename = "f-101*" 'use asterisk for wild card
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks 'this file type seems to work for .csv too
.Execute (msoSortByLastModified = msoSortOrderDecsending)
sFile = .FoundFiles(1)
End With
Workbooks.Open sFile
End Sub
