I understand the following:-
Source workbook (where the original data is) is Revenue Worksheet.
Destination workbook (where the link is created) is 2009 Revenue.
If I have the above reversed then you will have to reverse the workbooks in
the following instructions.

Open both workbooks.
In the Source workbook (Revenue Worksheet)
Select the range of cells to be linked (B162:S162)
Click menu item Insert - Name - Define
In field under Names in workbook type a name like MySourceRange (No spaces).
Click OK
Save the workbook
KEEP THE WORKBOOK OPEN.

In Destination workbook (2009 Revenue)
Select the FIRST cell of the range where you want the links to appear. (Say
B20)
Click in the formula bar.
Type the = sign to start formula (DO NOT press Enter)
Select the Source workbook (Revenue Worksheet) (either VIA the task bar or
via menu item Windows.)
Click menu item Edit - Go To
In the dialog box select the name you created (MySourceRange) and click OK.
Press Enter and you will return to the Destination workbook window.
Copy the link to the full required range across the worksheet.
Save the workbook.

Now save and close the source workbook. In the Destination workbook you will
see the formula has updated itself to include the full path of the source..

Save and close the Destination workbook.

You can now open either workbook individually without the other. However, if
you open the Destination workbook without the Source open then you will get a
dialog box asking you to update the links. Select Update.

You can add or delete rows above either the data in the source or above the
data in the destination data and the linked data will be unaffected.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to type out the
instructions! This worked perfectly. I was also pleasantly suprised
that the one Define Name worked for each cell. I thought I was going
to have to make a name for each individual cell in order for it to
work in the destination Cells. But it automatically picked up the
right cell.
I can't thank you enough for all the future time you have saved me.
