confused by linking

[Jim May]

In my WB1.xls I have:
In Cell A6 '0514121-A
In cell B6 ="[PA"&A6&"-JM.xls]PaySchedule"
In Cell Z1 'C:\Documents and Settings\Contracts\

In Cell G6 << I need to link to Cell D10 (with a dollor Value in

Z1 & B6 ' or 'C:\Documents and
Settings\Contracts\="[PA"&A6&"-JM.xls]PaySchedule"

PA0514121-A-JM.xls will remain Closed throughout.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Jim,

You can use the INDIRECT function (check the online help) to build up your
reference, but it works only if the linked workbook (i.e.
PA0514121-A-JM.xls) is opened. If the linked workbook is closed the function
will give a #VALUE! error.

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
