It looks like I can only see the results of this formula if BOTH workbooks
are open at the same time...is there anyway to avoid this?

You can use INDIRECT

=INDIRECT("'[Workbook.xls]"&C1&"'!Cell")


note that the other workbook has to be open

How can I change the 'sheetname' in this formula based on the value

a cell or can I match the name of the current sheet to an identical

another workbook?

=[Workbook.xls]Sheetname!Cell
