Good Afternoon

I wonder if someone out there can help me.

Say, in cell A1 is the formula:
='A:\Folder1\Folder2\[File1.xls]DATA'!$A$4

Is it possible to change this using the INDIRECT function (or otherwise)?

i.e. if in B1 I put
Folder3

Is there a formula I can put in A1 which is like the one above that
references automatically what is in B1?

e.g. (and I know this is wrong)
='A:\Folder1\INDIRECT(B2)\[File1.xls]DATA'!$A$4
