How about if I have two worksheets open and the macro is
selecting between the two worksheets. This will work
fine if I only have one worksheet open, but if I have two
I would have to refer to the spreadsheet by name to avoid
confusion. I'm trying to use this spreadsheet as a
template for users that don't know VBA code so automation
is key.

Thanks for the tip.

JC,

It depends on what workbook you want to reference. If
you want
the workbook that is presently active, use

mystring = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("WorkOrders").Range
("I2").Value

In the above code, is there a way to make the filename
of
the spreadsheet (SupportTemplate.xls) link dynamically
to
the name of the spreadsheet. Thus, if the spreadsheet
name changes, the reference in the code changes as
well.

Thanks,
