Cell Contents to identify source Filename
 

Hi, all

I'm trying to build a macro that will allow users to input file
locations, I'm having a hard time getting the macro to substitute cell
contents for a hard-coded string. I have this:

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
"S:\Departments\Shop Public\Support\stats_liste_MvtStock.txt"
_

I would like to instead have something like this:

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
"cell(D6)" _

In this case D6 would contain the file address on the network. With
that accomplished, users can identify their source files without
rooting around in the code. This can't be too hard, can it?

Thanks,

Nate
