How do you set a project to look up a specific file name that changes daily?

    HI Jason,

    So, from my understanding and how I use projects is that it is a process that records the steps I take to open reports, apply models, convert to table, etc. The problem I have is that the files I open daily have different "title" dates. (For instance, NB0728 or NB0729) I have to take these files and save them as one common name (NBDATA) so that my Project will always recognize the file when ran. I would like to know how I can get the Project to open a file based on maybe the first two characters. When I run the project, if a file is title NB0728 it would open the file based on the "NB" characters. This way no matter what the files is dated (0728, 0729, etc.) it would open the file based on the "NB" characters. To better understand why I am requesting this, there are files that process in our system every morning at a certain time. These files are auto titled according to date, which I have no control over. I use Monarch Projects to quickly open the file, apply the model, and format to table. If there is a way to make the projects recognize the characters, it would be an amazing help. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!
