Thanks Gary but I don't see how that helps me.

I have a workbook that will get data from several different (closed)
workbooks via links. I want the paths in those links to be variable
and be
able to define that variable in a cell.

If the source folder contains workbooks named; xName1, yName1,
zName1,
xName2, yName2 and zName2 - I want to type 2 in a predetermined
cell and
link to the data in xName2, yName2 and zName2.

Is there a way to use a variable in the path of a link. I would
like to
be
able to define the variable by typing it is a specific cell then
update
all
my links accordingly

For example say I have workbooks named pOffice22, pOffice23 etc
in a
folder. All of these files are the same except they contain data
from
different weeks. I have a summary workbook that I use to perform
various
reports on this data. The data is transferred into the summary
workbook
via
links.

I would like to be able to type 22 in a cell and get the data
from file
pOffice 22 or type 23 in the cell and get the data from file
pOffice23.

Any help will be greatly appreciated
