Default REPT FUNCTION FROM WORKBOOK TO WORKBOOK

EXCELL 2003
I have a job that requires I create several cheat sheets in order to keep
all the information at my fingertips. Some information is basically on all
the cheat sheets. Now, when something changes, I have to go into each one
and change only that sheet. I created a master workbook(I hope I'm using the
correct verbage) that contains all of the common data, so when one piece of
information changes, it will automatically change all sheets in other
workbooks that I formulate to refer to it.
The problem is my formula works for a first time trasnference of data, but
no changes after that made to the master workbook will be passed on to each
individual workbook/sheet.
Here is the formula I'm using in one particular cell:
=REPT(([MASTERCHANGEFILEWORKSHEET.XLS]Sheet1!$H5),1)

Do I have to add to this formula or is there another reason why changes to
the master do not transfer?
