Value from a closed workbook

[Guest]

Hi

How can I extract a value from a closed workbook?

I've tried with the 'Indirect' function but have since learnt that this
doesn't work when the wookbook is closed

i need something like

A1="C:\folder\<filename>

TIA

Hi Anthony

I have examples on my site

For a few cells use a formula like this
='C:\Documents and Settings\Ron\Desktop\[Numeric tab.xls]Sheet1'!$A$16

Hi Ron

Thanks for the reply but to be honest, I got a bit lost. What macro do I use
and how?

For a few cells you can manual enter a formula like this
