Default External Reference in Vlookup

Hi Guys:

I would like to do a vlookup from an external reference. I've done this many
times where the file name of the external reference is known at the time of
developing the macro. This time, the file name will vary from instance to
instance, but the internal structure of the file will be identical and I can
insist that the user keeps the file in the same location as this
spreadsheet.
My first attempt was to develop the vlookup formula on-the-fly using a cell
where the user input the external reference file name. While this worked the
first time, it failed the repeat test.
This sounds like it should be fairly simple, but the procedure excapes me.

Any thoughts,

Craig
