Default Auto update between two workbooks

Wow! You are Amazing creator. Thanks so much. It working. I apply it to just
one cell and it working but I want apply it to the rows without changing the
rows number manually. Note"When i tried to drag to next cell below it doesn't
change the cell no, it apply the same formula on A2 to A3 then give me the
same result on both cells. If it can change the cell number on the formular
while dragging it down. That will be great.
I'm applying it to cell A2 TO A3000(A2:A3000) stress to start changing
update links and changing cell numbers. please what can i do master? Thanks
so much once again.

This is working
='C:\MyDocuments\excel\[source.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1 OR VLOOKUP FORMULAR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm working on Excel file called destination.xls then i want to call up
another workbook source.xls to automatic update destination.xls on some rows.
I mean whenever source.xls change then destination.xls should pull
automatic update from it. I taught of using ='C:\My
Documents\excel\[source.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1 OR VLOOKUP FORMULAR .

"NOTE" If i change anything in those rows in source.xls then it should
automatically change the same rows in destination.xls. Please can you help
me and advice on what to do. Thanks alot.

Have you tired ='C:\My Documents\excel\[source.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1
If both files are open this should work
If 'destination' is closed, it will update next time you open it
Try it and tell us the result
VLOOKUP does not seen appropriate here
best wishes
