VBA Excel Import delimited txt file when having a partial file name

This seems like a simple task, but I can't put my finger on it, it just won't work. I need to import a delimited txt file by vba, that has a random value at the end, this is what I tried:

c02 = Dir("T:\bla\DERP-_-" & Format$(Date, "YYYY-MM-DD") & "_*.txt")

    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        "TEXT;" & c02 _
        , Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
        .Name = _
        "Extract"
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
        .TextFilePlatform = 437
        .TextFileStartRow = 1
        .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
        .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
        .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True
        .TextFileTabDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
        .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = True
        .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
        .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With

So the full path for today would be: T:\bla\DERP-_-2014-06-19_08-19.txt

Tomorrow could be: T:\bla\DERP-_-2014-06-20_09-12.txt

Why won't this work? I'm so frustarted that something this simple is not working

Huuuuge thanks in advance

You need to add the full path to where your querytable is being generated. Dir only returns the filename, not the full path
