I have a macro that opens and closes other work books so I have a statement to activate the workbook that has the macro.

Workbooks("Current.xls").Activate

The thing is, this file gets saved ever now and then as a newer version, and I have to change that file name Current.xls to the new name every time I run that macro. How can I stop from having to do this? Something like


ActiveWorkbook = ThisVersion

Workbooks(ThisVersion).Activate

Or

Dim ActivateThisFile as String

ActivateThisFile = ????
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
If I'm understanding you correctly, you can do something like this:

Dim wbk as Workbook

Set wbk = ThisWorkbook

'... your code

wbk.Activate

Hope this helps,
