Default External reference with variable workbook name?

Hello everyone,

I'm referencing an external workbook and need part of the workbook name to
be a variable. My base formula is; [55421GNTForms.xls]SBR'!$C$5

I need "55421" to be a variable, with the new information pulled from a cell
within the referencing workbook. (55421 is a name, not a number.) There
will be a .xls file of the correct name already saved in the correct
referenced location.

What is the syntax for this reference? I've entered: ["A1"&GNTForms.xls]
SBR!$C$5 and numerous other combinations and have not had any luck.

I'm in the 'New Users' Group for a reason, so please dumb you answer down as
much as possible. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
