Hi -
I'm using Excel 2000, Win XP.

A colleague has a workbook which accesses data from a secondary work book.
Every so often, she has to update the data in the Main Workbook with data
from a different secondary workbook. For example, the Main workbook is
referencing data from "Workbook01.xls" this week. Next week, she wants to
reference data from "Workbook02.xls". The only change in the workbook names
is from 01 to 02. She will have about 50 workbooks throughout the year.

Rather than changing each individual reference in the Main Workbook, she
wants to be able to change just one cell from '01 to '02, and have the cells
update with data from the 02 workbook. The data in each of the secondary
workbooks is arranged similarly, so changing the workbook name will bring in
the correct data.

I could write VBA code to do this, but was wondering if this could be
accomplished using formulas and no VBA. She has numerous workbooks with
references to closed workbooks. I would not want to write VBA for each of
her workbooks.

Thanks in advance.

Steve
