Thanks for the reply, Max, but I'm afraid it just isn't working for me
between workbooks. When I copy cell A1 and past it to a few other cells in
the same row, I get the identical link (=[Book4]Sheet1!A1) in every cell.
Within a workbook it works as you describe.

Please try it, and I hope you'll see what I'm talking about. Perhaps I have
a glitch in my software?
