Default Copy worksheet & maintain cell reference across worksheets

SOme thing else which would be nice to do when copying the worksheet is to be
able to have the formula copy as follows.

=SUM('1-01-06:12-31-06'!B12:F12) original formula

=SUM('1-01-06:(name of worksheet)'!B12:F12) copied worksheet formula

Thanks

I have a workbook with a worksheet set up initially with a sheet named
1-01-06 and another sheet named 12-31-06, these refer to the first & last
weeks of 2006.
Both worksheets have a cell with the following formula
=SUM('1-01-06:12-31-06'!B12:F12) which sums the total of b12 thru f12 across
both worksheets.
I want to copy the first worksheet 24 times, renaming each copy to the date
for sunday of each week.

When I copy the worksheet to a new worksheet that is located between 1-01-06
& 12-31-06 the formula for the above cell changes to =SUM(#REF!B12:F12). I
have tried putting a $ sign in various places in the original formula to make
it absolute with no success, when I do this I get this result
=SUM('$1-01-06:[$12-31-06]$12-31-06'!B12:F12) by entering it this way
=SUM('$1-01-06:$12-31-06'!B12:F12) which gives me a #REF! value in cell.

How do I enter thus formula to make it copy exactly the same when I copy the
worksheet.?

Thanks
