Hi,

I have a code which finds the latest file in a folder T. But What i want is to replace the link in my activeworkbook to the latest file in folder T .
Give me a good code.

Here is the code

Code:
Sub link()
Dim fldpath As String, fil As Object, fld As Object, wbcur As Workbook, wbsrch As Workbook, fso As Object

fldpath = "T:\Public\Reporting\Ealing\"
Set wbcur = ActiveWorkbook
Set fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set fld = fso.getfolder(fldpath)
lMax = 0
    For Each fil In fld.Files
        If InStr(fil.Name, ".xls") > 0 Then
            If fil.DateCreated > lMax Then
                lMax = fil.DateCreated
                fName = fil.Name
            End If
        End If
    Next fil
MsgBox "Last file created is: " & fName
end sub



Thanks,
Cheers...

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Sub link()
Dim fldpath As String, fil As Object, fld As Object, wbcur As Workbook, wbsrch As Workbook, fso As Object
fldpath = "T:\Public\Reporting\Ealing\"
Set wbcur = ActiveWorkbook
Set fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set fld = fso.getfolder(fldpath)
lMax = 0
    For Each fil In fld.Files
        If InStr(fil.Name, ".xls") > 0 Then
            If fil.DateCreated > lMax Then
                lMax = fil.DateCreated
                ' Change fil.Name to fil.Path
                fname = fil.Path
            End If
        End If
    Next fil
MsgBox "Last file created is: " & fname
' Delete the existing hyperlink
Range("D10").Select
Selection.Hyperlinks.Delete
'Update the new link
Selection.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:=fname, _
        TextToDisplay:="Updated File Name: " & fname
End Sub
