instead of "like", the function you're looking for is Instr()
so, your macro should look something like:
Sub Test()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim DestinationFile As String, SourceFile As String
For Each wb In Workbooks
If (InStr(1, wb.Name, "D") > 0) Then
DestinationFile = wb.Name
ElseIf (InStr(1, wb.Name, "M") > 0) Then
SourceFile = wb.Name
End If
Next wb
MsgBox "DestinationFile: " & SourceFile & Chr(13) & "DestinationFile: " &
SourceFile
End Sub

I am trying to browse through all open workbooks and assign their names to
variables based on some pattern. Below is the code I have written:
Sub Test()
Dim wb As Workbooks
For Each wb In Workbooks If Workbook.Name Like "*123*" Then
DestinationFile = ActiveWorkbook.Name ElseIf Workbook.Name Like "*456*" Then
SourceFile = ActiveWorkbook.Name End IfNextMsgBox DestinationFile
MsgBox SourceFile
End Sub
Can someone help me on this.
Regards.
