Default Updating criteria table in one spreadsheet from another

Joel & John & all,

Sorry, I guess I got my lingo mixed up. The user is saving workbook A (the
whole xls file) with a different name, not just a worksheet within a
workbook. I am using a range or ranges workbook B to update a range or
ranges in the "Data" sheet of workbook A. So with that clarification (I
hope) I will restate the questions ....

Issue 1 The users have renamed workbook A, so when they click the button
in workbook B I would like them to be able to choose from a list of Excel
files in that directory the name of the workbook (herein called "A") that
they want to update. This would be simpler than typing in the name. How do I
program this?

Issue 2 I don't want to create external references or mess up the named
ranges in workbook A. How can I avoid this?
