Default Linking a cell to another workbook cell based on a variable name

Hi all,

Is there any way that I can link a cell in Workbook A to a cell in Workbook
B(sheet1) based on a variable entry (workbook name) in Workbook A

Workbook A contains two cells

A1 = Workbook B (this is the variable name)
B1 = I want this to be the same as cell B1 in Workbook B

I will then want to copy the formula in Workbook A cell B1 to other cells so
that B2, B3 etc.. will contain the data from the respective cells in Workbook
B

Hope the above makes sense

Brian
Workbook B will contain date in cell B1 = John Smith
