Hi all,<br />
<br />
How do I activate a workbook (which is already open within the current application) for which I know part of the name? Like, I know that the workbook starts with: CMVINXBXINNNI_Index_Mornin<wbr />gReport- <br />
but the rest of the name is unknown (or will vary). <br />
<br />
Example:<br />
Windows(&quot;CMVINXBXINNNI_Ind<wbr />ex_Morning<wbr />Report-200<wbr />70329&quot;).Ac<wbr />tivate<br />
<br />
How come I can not reference this workbook in the following manner: <br />
Windows(&quot;CMVINXBXINNNI&quot; &amp;&nbsp;&quot;*&quot;).Activate<br />
<br />
Hope you can help :)

How to reference an open workbook using wildcard in VBA

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
