Default Open a Workbook Q

I found this code that opens up a workbook, saves it and closes it. I will
be calling a further macro within this code latter. My problem is that it
will open a specific file called "Book1.xls", however I have a file that
changes name everyweek and I wish to run below each day at 9:00am. Is it
possible to have say in Sheet1 A1 the file name so that the code below can
reference to it? Is that possible?

Q 2 - do I place the Sub RunOnTime within a 'normal' module within my file?

Thanks


Sub RunOnTime()
'Run this once and at the next 9am it will run
'the procedure OpenBook2
Application.OnTime "09:00:00", "OpenBook2"
End Sub

Sub OpenBook2()
'This procedure opens the book2.xls file
'Prints it and closes it without saving
'It then loops back to RunOnTime and runs again
'at the next 9am
Dim wb2 As Workbook
Set wb2 = Workbooks.Open("C:\Book1.xls")
wb2.Close SaveChanges:=True
RunOnTime
End Sub
