I know this works when I am in the file I from which I wish to retrieve the info:
Code:
Let ThePath = Sheets("intParam").Range("ThePath").Value

But if I am not in the correct file, what is the syntax. This does NOT work:

Code:
Let ThePath = windows.("Projects.xlsm").Sheets("intParam").Range("ThePath").Value

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Instead of "Windows" try "Workbooks" and put the full path to the workbook if it is in a different folder than the workbook you're referencing it from.
