Hello,
I am using Excell 2000 to query an external dBase file.
This file is created each day with the following format:
040605AW.dbf
The next day a new one is created (Y/M/D):
040606AW.dbf
I sucessfully recorded a Macro that follows my MS Query
steps to bring this data in to my spread sheet. I then
can do a dynamic refresh. Works great! But it only points
to that one file. I've tried to record "down arrow key"
and "end" key stocks but the macro still only records what
ever file I had selected.
I need to modify the macro so that it only gets the last
created file. Any help? Thank you in advance.
Below I have listed the complete Macro for your review:
Sub GetData()

' The If Then code is used to prevent multiply data files
crowding the spread sheet
If [C2].Value < 1 Then

End Sub
