I have tried to post this a couple times, but don't see it after I post it...
so if it out here three times, I am sorry!

I am trying to write code that will allow me to pull in information for
different areas depending on the file that I am creating. For example, I
will create a file for US006 and want the external information for US006 and
then create a file for US007 and want the information for US007.

I created the code below. The fourth line from the bottom references US006.
I would like that to be a variable dependent on the file I am creating. I
cannot seem to get it to work.

Is this doable?

Thanks for your help.
