Marcus,
Where do you type all of that information? Do you have to put in the name
of the actual sheets where you listed Name.wb, etc?

Open all workbooks and use this to reference cell Sheet1!$C$1 in all
workbooks in column A of the active sheet:

Sub RefWBs()
c = 0
For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
c = c + 1
ref = "=[" & wb.Name & "]Sheet1!$C$1"
Range("A" & c) = ref
Range("B" & c) = wb.Name 'to know which wb it came from
Next
End Sub

This doesn't eliminate the problem of needing to access/type in all those
different workbook files... :(

Marguerite,

You could use INDIRECT, but you'd still need to type in the file names that
you wanted.

I have a large number of workbooks with identical structures. I want to get
information from a location on a particular sheet in every one of these
workbooks, and list it in a new workbook. Any ideas of how to do this
without having to copy-and-paste from each of the locations or manually enter
the source for each of these books?

Thanks!
