Default Recognize Names of other Workbooks

Hello:

I'm using Excel 2003. I have a workbook (utility.xls) which I use to
extract data from other workbooks. Currently, I have the code written in the
utility which forces the name of the other workbook to be named something
specific. In this case, "Cost Data.xls":

Dim UTIL, COST as Object
Set UTIL = Workbooks(ActiveWorkbook.Name).Sheets("Sheet1")
Set UTIL = Workbooks("Cost Data.xls").Sheets("Sheet1")
{and so forth}

UTIL is intended to extract data from several workbooks, but right now I can
only do them one at a time and I have to name each one "Cost data.xls" before
doing the extraction.

HERE IS MY QUESTION:
Is there a way to get Excel to recognize all of the open workbooks by their
names (say I want to do five at a time) without renaming them and having to
specify a name(s) in my code?

Thanks in advance.
