Default Copy worksheet & maintain cell reference across worksheets

Hi

One way might be to create 2 dummy sheets titled First and Last.
Drag these to a position that wraps your other sheets.
Make the formula = SUM(First:last!B12:F12)

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
