Default Links to External Spreadsheet (using a variable in the link)

Hi,

We have a spreadsheet which is pulling in data from external spreadsheets.
So we use the following type of function to do so:

=([Budget.xls]Annual!C10:C25).

However, the external spreadsheets we use are updated everyday. So each day,
we have a new spreadheet named in a specific convention:

FilenameDDMMYY.xls

Is there a way to write the formula so that the DDMMYY part is dynamic, and
updates according to the current date? We've tried working around this, but
the way the function works, it doesn't seem to be able to take in a variable,
and must be static.

Thanks in advance!
