Default setting constant path

Help please.
I have one workbook which is a csv file lets call it source1.xls from a
banking system. I also have 28 workbooks (reports) which derive data from
the csv file. Some of the cells in the 28 books do calculations based on
values from source1.xls. Is there a way that I can specify, in an add in or
macro or whatever, a constant path for the file so that when cell A2 of a
report looks at a cell in the source, it doesn't have lets say path like
=SUMPRODUCT(--('T:\Operational\BQC\BNA_Reports\BNA\Source
files\[fdbpre.xls]fdbpre'!$DK$1:$DK$65536="230"),
--('T:\Operational\BQC\BNA_Reports\BNA\Source
files\[fdbpre.xls]fdbpre'!$D$1:$D$65536="973"),
--('T:\Operational\BQC\BNA_Reports\BNA\Source
files\[fdbpre.xls]fdbpre'!$DL$1:$DL$65536="024"),
'T:\Operational\BQC\BNA_Reports\BNA\Source
files\[fdbpre.xls]fdbpre'!$CB$1:$CB$65536)--

This is rather long and if the source file changes location it becomes
difficult to change every cell in the reports that references the source.
Would prefer just to refer to a path variable just dont know how to do it.
Thank you.
Jayen
