Thanks Dave, and everyone for your suggestions with my problem.
I finally did indeed use Hutch's suggestion and it's working fine, and your
comments on the benefits of using this technique are good ones.
Thanks again
Larry

I think that Indirect () does indeed have a problem with a 3D reference.
E.g.
=SUM(INDIRECT("'Sheet 1'!a12:c14"))
works fine but
=SUM(INDIRECT("'Sheet 1:Sheet 2'!a12:c14"))
fails.
So this approach is not going to work.
FWIW I do the same thing as Hutch is suggesting - i.e. dummy first and
last
sheets. This has a couple of advantages too:
- It doesn't matter what the inner sheets are called, so they can have
meaningful names, such as the persons' names if the sheets are one per
person.
- You don't need to maintain a separate "number of sheets" cell, that
could
get out of step.
