The easiest way is to open both files; in the target file cell type =, now
point at the cell in the source file cell. This gives a formula in the form
='[Travel Apr 07.XLS]April'!$B$4 where the file name is within [ ] , and
April happens to be the name of the sheet in the source file.
If you need to copy this formula down a column you will need to remove the $
signs that make it absolute
