File name in Vlookup

[sa02000]

I am trying to do vlookup in a macro. Is there any way I can specify
table from a sheet in a workbook that is not open for second argumen
of vlookup?

For this format
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _

"=VLOOKUP(RC4,[current_file.xls]overall!R2C1:R1000C15,4,FALSE)"
I have to have current_file.xls open

It gave me errors when I tried this

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC4,[E:\folder 1\folde
2\current_file.xls]overall!R2C1:R1000C15,4,FALSE)"

What is the correct syntax to specify this file in vlookup so that
dont have to have that file open?

Thanks,
Ja

I've had to use INDIRECT.EXT to get data from closed workbooks. I don't
know how it would work for your application.
