Default Need macro to open a variable filename

Thanks, that works. Now I have a similar problem switching between open
worksheets:
Windows ("H33").Activate where H33 is the name of the worksheet we
opened in K6 minus the path.

Workbooks.Open FileName:=Range("K6").Value

I have a variable filename in a cell. The cell, K6, contains "
concatenate(K4,H4)"
I recorded a macro that opens "filename" using
Workbooks.Open FileName:= "filename"
but the filename is hard coded as the name when the macro was recorded, not
a variable name. How do I get the macro to open the variable filename in K6?
I am not a VB programmer.

I tried Workbooks.Open FileName:= (K6) but either it isn't the right way
to do it or the syntax is bad.
