Formula with an external link - VBA

Hi,
I have the following simplified array formula in cell A1 Sheet1, If I wanted to update the link within excel itself I would simply click Edit>Links>Change Source and job done.

The issue is that this formula needs to be within a macro and just the result displayed in cell A1 Sheet1

{=INDEX('C:\link.xls]tab1'!$F$1:$F$100,MATCH($H$7&$C$68,'C:\link.xls]tab1'!$C$1:$C$100&'C:\link.xls]tab1'!$D$1:$D$100))}

The user could change the link at any time so I need to somehow refrance the exterenal link? I have tried the following but it doesn't come anywhere close to working, any ideas?

Sub macro3()

Dim WW As Variant
WW = ThisWorkbook.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)

Range("A1").Formula = "='WW Sheet1'!$A$1"

End Sub

Excel tip:

Display Formulas Instead of Results in Excel 2010

By pressing Ctrl ~ once, Excel will display formulas rather than the results of the formulas. Press it again, and the results will appear again.

A much quicker and simpler way of displaying your formulas!
