Importing multiple text files.

I have a series of text files that I would like to import on a daily basis into a workbook. Using VBA, I can set this up with a static filename, but the filename contains the current date, and when I attempt to open multiple files using wildcards, only the first one will open. (I'm not even sure the wildcard approach is the correct one):

Workbooks.OpenText FileName:="C:Loc*.loc",

Is there a loop I can set up that would handle this? I'm sure there is, but my skills in VBA are a little too meager.

In addition I'd like the source files to be deleted after they are imported.

Thanks all!

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
