Cell reference within a indirect..
 

Im really in need of some good advice. Ive used many hours making a test
cell for a new worksheet, but then when i closed down the workbooks my
test cell was refering to i got the #REF! error although the whole path
to the workbook was there. I isolated the problem to a indirect formula
im using because i want the reference file to be a variable.

How do i solve the problem that excel isnt able to use a cell reference
in a workbook that isnt open if that reference is within a "=indirect()"
code..?

Thanks.. To bad it has limitations.. I needed it for looking up if a
excel workbook have been completed for each of 60.000 persons.. But i
guess we will have to keep track of how many workbooks have been made
manually :(
