Default using text from cell in lookup formula

I have created a master sheet using a vlookup to get data from another excel
file but everytime I have to change the formulas to correct the file name to
the corrosponding file.
example: "=VLOOKUP($A2,'[3069.xls]resource plan'!$A$2:$BI$36,10,FALSE)"
I am trying to use text in cell a1 as a variable for file name ("3069.xls")
so I only change it once.
