Default Newbie Q: Specifying external Sheet name from Inputbox


Guys I think the macro better explains what Im trying to achieve...

Dim CurMonth As String
Sheets(Array("UK", "FR", "IT", "ES")).Select
Sheets("UK").Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -4).Columns("A:D").EntireColumn.Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Range("A1").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Range("A1").Select
CurMonth = InputBox("Enter the Month 'Format: Month #'")
ActiveCell = CurMonth
ActiveCell.Offset(3, 0).Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.Value = "='[Book3]Curmonth'!B4"

What I want to do is tell the macro to look in a sheet in another
workbook for some data. The sheet should have the same name as in the
string that I get from the Input box. How do I achieve that please?

Also what property do I use if I want to change the external reference
from constant (meaning with $ reference "$A$2") to variable ("A2").

Hope I make sense...
