Acrobat Pro XI Action Assistant - How can I get the Action Wizard to look in another folder?

I am trying to automate PDFing reports. I have 25 sites per day who need reports created. All files are currently implemented in folders with a unique ID of the Site as follows:

Site 001

Site 002

Site 003

In the folder of each Site, there are folders separated for the components of the report Site 001\text Site 001\figures Site 001\tables. Each folder in the Site has the same set of subfolders, and documents in subfolders have the same names. For example Site 001\tables\Table1.xslx and Site 003\tables\Table1.xslx both exist, etc.

I was able to create an action that adds tables and Figures in the text in the right places, but he always seized table and figures of the Site 001. What causes my reports for Sites 002 and 003 is filled with tables and figures Site 001. Assuming that my work pdf is located in the folder \text, is there a way to have one base folder folder level of the Wizard Action find and open the \tables file in the appropriate folder in the Site?

By example, if I try to add the Site 002\tables\Table1.xslx to a document in the Site 002\text\Text.pdf is there an easy way to do this automatically back to the right place?

It might be possible with a script if file names are always the same.
However, you will have other problems with this approach because that when you run an Action on a folder it treats all its subfolders automatically and converts all files not PDF to a PDF file... So, you will probably need to select your files manually, instead of simply select the folder where they are.
