users will be deleting the file and adding a new one everyday, I'm trying to avoid having to change the internal ID of the file on the script. Any way of making dynamic?

will the file name rename the same?

09/05/2023, 9:17 PMoh you mean to reference it?
sure you can do a foldersearch to get the id of files in the folder
