Default How do I use a variable name for a workbook in vba

Here is what I am trying to do. We download information from our AS400 all
the time in particular a "contract file" I need to be able to create a macro
that formats this contract file and performs several calculations on it. I
am trying to do this via a macro button. I am having a problem when I call
the file in my code.

Here is where I start having problems:


Call GetContractFileName

Workbooks.Open
FileName:="G:\USER\Contracts\Data_Files\All_2004_C atalog.xls"
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Sheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Windows("80266-00-0.xls").Sheets(1) 'here
is where I need to use the variable "ContractFileName" I just don't know how
to do it.
Windows("80266-00-0.xls").Activate 'here also
Sheets("80266-00-0.xls").Select 'and here too

_______________________________________
Public Sub GetContractFileName()
ContractFile = InputBox("Enter the Contract Number: ", "Contract File")
ContractNo=ContractFile
ContractFile = ContractFile & ".xls"
End Sub
_______________________________


Can someone help? Pleeease!
