This works:
A12    'C:\test.xls'
A13    !May
A14     =A12&A13
A15     =INDIRECT(A14)

A15 returns the value in range "May" in workbook "Test"

Does anyone know how to merge text, to create a reference to a named
cell in excel?

I am trying to pull in Cell A1="V:\Finance\GL_Sched\Assoc\[124.01
Clearing.xls]!" 

Cell A2="May"

I want to merge the two:

V:\Finance\GL_Sched\Assoc\[124.01 Clearing.xls]!May

Which would reference a cell, named "May" on another worksheet.  When I
try this, no matter what I do...excel treats this as text....and won't
bring back the value of "May" from the other worksheet.

Anyone know what I can do?

Thanks,
