reference N change of workbook name
I have 2 excel files, one the Working/Info Details and the other Display.
All the infomation will extract from the Working/Info file by using the following sample format. = 'C:\project\[working_info_details.xls]info'!A1 OR = 'C:\project\[working_info_details.xls]Detail'!H1 My problem is that when I change the Working/Info Details file name, the Display file is unable to extract the infomation anymore. How can I change the working file name and the display file will automatically updated and point to the file with a new name. Also is there a much better way where I can have the same result, a working file and a display file. Pls advice. Thanks vcff where I can work with |

Hi vcff
You must open both file together. you must open "working_info_details.xls" 1st or you can use a vb sub Auto_Open() to open / update (open, update and close) your files. if you can't do it inform me to give you compelete vb file "vcff" wrote: I have 2 excel files, one the Working/Info Details and the other Display.

tnks for the reply "Ashkan"
sorry that I may not have given a more clearer pic. Firstly, the two files, "working_info_details.xls" N "display.xls" contains info for the year 2006. For the year 2007, I need a new/blank file where I can input the info and will show in the :display.xls" file. My intention is to clear the datas in the "working_info_details.xls" and rename it as "working_info_details_2007.xls" N "display.xls" as "display_2007.xls" rather than creating all over again (big file as for a year). However, under the "display_2007.xls", the formula still point to the old file "working_info_details.xls". How can I correct it so that the "details_2007.xls" will extract info from the new file "working_info_details_2007.xls". The formula in the "details_2007.xls" still remain as follow: = 'C:\project\[working_info_details.xls]info'!A1 OR = 'C:\project\[working_info_details.xls]Detail'!H1 Correct formula should be as follow: = 'C:\project\[working_info_details_2007.xls]info'!A1 OR = 'C:\project\[working_info_details_2007.xls]Detail'!H1 Please help.

You can use Replace (ctrl+H).

if your replace is to replace the formula in every individual cell in the
"display_2007.xls" file, than it will take up a lot of time as all the info's in this file are from the first file and for the whole year.
