Default Opening a file from a cell value


Hello!

How do I open a particular file thats located on a drive from the name
that's located in a particular cell.

Example: In cell A1 is the filename Rawmix.xls

The path would be: I:\PLANT\LAB\Lab Tech Stuff

The macro button is on the same sheet as the filename.
I want the code to open the file by the name in A1, looking at the
path. This is useful for me because I can change the name of the file
(in cell A1) to another file that has the same path.

Thanks,
EMoe
