>You're actually got along further on this then I did.
>I've made two sheets and I can't get the Address function to work inside the Indirect function with both sheets open. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

>I did however use just the indirect function OK.
>In the file book2 and the sheet tab TestSheet I put B3 in cell A3.
>
>In the file Book1 has the formula:

>=INDIRECT('H:\My Documents\[Book2.xls]TestSheet'!$A$3)

>On the same worksheet I put 12 in B3 and 10 is C3.

>The formua in Book1 shows correctly that it is 12.
>I saved both sheets and closed Book1.
>I modifed Book2, cell A3 to be C3.
>Saved that spreadsheet and closed it.
>I opened just book1 and it asked me if I wanted to update the spreadhseet.
>I answered yes and the answer to the formula correctly changed to 10 without having book2 open.
>So we now know that the password and the Indirect formula don't appear too be the culprit.
