Default VBA Referencing a Named Cell Range in another Workbook

I have a VBA application (in Workbook2) that reads and changes information
in a Named Cell in a user's Workbook (WorkBook1). The name "UserTotal" has
been Insert/Name/Define defined in Workbook1 as =Sheet1!$A$1.

The VBA code works fine whey I explicitly reference the sheet name in
Workbook1 that the Name is defined as, but does not work if I only refer to
Workbook 2. Since different users may have defined "MyTotal" on different
sheets, is there a way of referring to the Named Cell without being explicit
as to what cell it is on, something like:

MyValue = Workbook1.Range(UserTotal).value
instead of
MyValue = Workbook1.Sheet1.Range(UserTotal).value

or lacking that, is there a simple way of setting another variable equal to
the Wookbook.Worksheet name that a variable is defined as in a way that I
can use that in th code line above?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank Hayes
