Default Formula is too long, (error message)

I am trying to sum numerous worksheets into a different workbook summary
sheet, however each time I select a cell within in the workbook it included
the workbook name and then the name of the worksheet and then the cell.
Is there a way that the workbook can be noted at the beginning of the
formula and then the rest of the formula will be the addition of each
worksheet?
eg. =sum('[Tracking revision2.xls]Sprinkler Fitters'!$C$6, '[Tracking
revision2.xls]Scaffolder!$C$6)
and so on forth. I would like to make it so the workbook is only mentioned
once at the beginning to shorten the formula.
Thanks
