Default Creating your own reference


Trying to do something a little complicated here and honestly not even
sure if this would be possible. What I need is for one workbook to
create another and then reference this second workbook for populating
certain cells.

I have a list of employees in A5:A8. Each employee has certain
statistics that are shown in columns C:K. I have already written the
formula which creates a second workbook (named test.xls at this point)
and then creates a separate sheet in the workbook for each employee
listed in the primary workbook.

My problem arises in trying to then reference anything from test.xls in
the primary workbook. I have a cell in the primary workbook which is
populated with the name of the created workbook (as this will not
always be the same after testing).
However, I cannot find a way to write a function that will look at a
cell to find the name of the workbook or sheet it is referencing.

Does anyone know if this is possible or how to accomplish this?

Many thanks.
