I was wandering if someone could help me edit the code below to open the pdf in the file that has the letters GGS in the file name?

Public Sub openJOBLIST()

Dim path As String
Dim PDFfile As String

path = "\\hq\dfsdata\Data\UserHomes\jamey.eerson\My Documents\pdf-NEW\Latest Job List"
If Right(path, 1) <> "" Then path = path & ""

PDFfile = Dir(path & "*.pdf")
If PDFfile <> vbNullString Then
ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink path & PDFfile
End If

End Sub

Hello bamaisgreat,

If you only have one PDF file with GGS in the file name then this will work...
Code:
Public Sub openJOBLIST()


    Dim path    As String
    Dim PDFfile As String


        path = "\\hq\dfsdata\Data\UserHomes\jamey.eerson\My Documents\pdf-NEW\Latest Job List"
        If Right(path, 1) <> "" Then path = path & ""


        PDFfile = Dir(path & "*GGS*.pdf")


        If PDFfile <> vbNullString Then
            ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink path & PDFfile
        End If


End Sub
