Default join location string with variable

Hi,

I'm having trouble connecting file location with a file
name. here is what i mean:
In the column A i have file names listed as

aba
abb
abc

these files are located on c:\locations\transfer
i'm trying to get to the Sheet3 and cell E5 on each file.
So at the end i should have
A B
aba value of c:\locations\transfer\[ABA.xls]Sheet3'!e$5
abb value of c:\locations\transfer\[ABB.xls]Sheet3'!e$5
abc value of c:\locations\transfer\[ABC.xls]Sheet3'!e$5

Thank you very much
