Hi All,

I'm trying to import a file based on one criteria. The importing file title has to match the first 12 characters of the file name that is performing the import.

For example, File A performing the import, has to match File B's title for its first 12 characters for it to perform the import.

So this situation would work:
11Jan2018 AB File A.xlsm
11Jan2018 AB File B.xlsm



This situation would not work:
12Jan2018 AB File A.xlsm
11Jan2018 AB File B.xlsm


If they are NOT in agreement then a message box appears and says, "Files don't match".

Then Exit Sub.



If they have a match, then the import can take place and a message box appears and says "Files match!".

Please post a code, if you can.

Thank you!
Pinaceous
