Default VBA to refer to a cell in a different file


Hi,

Really stupid question, but I'm not sure of the syntax to refer to
cell in another worksheet from within VBA. I'm trying:

temp = C:\Documents and Settings\Daz\Desktop\HYP Screene
v11.xls[ShareData]!L3

or

temp = '[HYP Screener v11.xls]ShareData'!L3

and neither seems to work. The file I'm working on is in the same di
as the file I'm trying to access. Can anyone point me in the righ
direction?

Cheers,

Da

temp = workbooks("HYP Screener
v11.xls").Worksheets("ShareData").Range("L3")

this will require the workbook to be open
