For a couple of my users I go even further and have a separate file called "Opener". All it does is open other files, then it hides itself.

Well, that's not quite true. It also has a single page in its single record in its single table on which it asks the user to sign in using a drop-down menu of possible user names, select which branch of the organization they're working for from a separate drop-down menu, and either confirm or change the fiscal year. That information is then made available from the "Opener" file to the rest of the files in the system.
