Basically what I have is a button that creates a new column that should be
full of linked values. When the user hits the button, he is asked to select a file from his hard-drive; the code then takes the name of that file and creates a number of links in the new column. So for example: 1) User hits button and selects the closed excel file C:\Tempfiles\Testsheet.xls 2) Excel creates the new column and populates it with formulas that link to the file; in A1 it enters ='C:\Tempfiles\[Testsheet.xls]Overview'!$A$1 in A2 it enters ='C:\Tempfiles\[Testsheet.xls]Budget'!$A$4 And so forth... I've come so far as to let the user select the file, by using the code: FilesToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _ (FileFilter:="Microsoft Excel Files (*.xlsx; *.xls), *.xls", _ MultiSelect:=False, Title:="File to open") This creates a string in VBA with the path of the file I want to open, for example C:\Tempfiles\Testsheet.xls. The problem is that if I want to create a new link, I need to add brackets around the filename, as far as I can tell, to separate it from the path, ie I need to change C:\Tempfiles\Testsheet.xls into ='C:\Tempfiles\[Testsheet.xls] Any idea how I could do this? Thanks, Babymech |
