Default Using a variable file name

Being a newbie, I apologize if this appears to be a trivial problem. I
tried looking at past postings but they don't seem to help much.

I am simply trying to copy and paste some stuff from one file to
another and my macro looks like:

Windows("C1.xls").Activate
Range("G12").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Standard Input Template.xls").Activate
Range("G12").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

where C1.xls is the file I'm copying from and the macro belongs to the
file "Standard Input Template".

However I may need to copy from other files and a sheet in it with the
same name as the file name.

So I've set up by picking the file name and the sheet name from a cell
:
***********
Dim Sname As String
Dim IFname As String

'
'Enter Basic Information
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Sname = Range("E11").Value
IFname = Sname & ".xls!" & Sname


Windows(" & IFname & ").Activate
Range("E12:E13").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Standard Input Template.xls").Activate
Range("E12").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
***********
This does not work :((

Please help!!!

Thanks in advance
