Default How do I make several workbooks work together?

I have 60 workbooks from where I need to gather information on a monthly basis.
These are personell sheets for vacations, leave of absence and so on.

From time to time I need to make changes in the functions that I have in
these workbooks, is there a way I can link these workbooks together, so that
I can make changes in e.g. a template file and these changes will also take
effect in my other workbooks.

I have one workbook that gathers information regarding used vacation and
another workbook that gathers information regarding sick days and so on.

I do this by adding a particular cell in several of the workbooks like this:
='C:\ansatt \fravær\[153name.xls]Fraværsregistrering'!$C$26+'C:\ansatt
\fravær\[189name.xls]Fraværsregistrering'!$C$26

Is there a way that I can link groups of workbooks and then use a function
to gather the value from cell C26 in all of these workbooks/groups of
workbooks?

Thanks
