Call a file name from within string
 

Similar to my last post, I want to be able to change a parameter
within a calculation.

I have tried to modify code that I used for a similar event from
before but I am stumped.

The code is as follows: -

Dim extract As String
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
extract = InputBox("Please enter Version Control Master file", "File
Name")
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=+'[& extract &]Static Summary'!R9C3-'[Version Control Master
20070815.xls]Static Summary'R9C3"

Basically I am calling cell C9 from one sheet whose name changes daily
and subtracting the value in C9 on the other sheet which does not
change.

Responses/guidance gratefully received.
Thank you

One way:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"='[" & extract & "]Static Summary'!R9C3-'[Version Control Master
20070815.xls]Static Summary'R9C3"

Je,
Tried your suggestion , comes up with a debug error.

I also tried this: -

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"='[" & extract & ".xls""]Static Summary'!R9C3-'[Version
Control Master 20070815.xls]Static Summary

but that just debugs too.

Not sure what 'debug' error you're getting - I'd expect an application
error.

Just noticed that you left out the last exclamation point. Try:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"='[" & extract & "]Static Summary'!R9C3-'[Version Control
Master 20070815.xls]Static Summary'!R9C3"


='[Workbook1.xls]Static Summary'!R9C3-'[Version Control Master
20070815.xls]Static Summary'!R9C3
