Default Summary list of worksheets in workbook

Hello all,
Newsgroup protocol suggests one should scan threads first and maybe
reply to one or two before jumping in with a post, particularly a
request, but since I can't see what I'm looking for, I'm just going to
go for it!

What I'm trying to do is, I'm sure, quite straightforward, but I can't
find a quick, automated or semi-automated way to do it without delving
into VB scripting a bit further than I'd like.
I have a spreadsheet which contains a worksheet for each quotation,
order or invoice we create. I'd like to have a summary list of these
items on the first worksheet, showing basic details like reference
number, date, customer etc. with one row for each worksheet.
Ideally I'd like to set up the formulas in advance, but since the
sheets don't exist until we create them, that may not be possible. As
an alternative, a quick way of adding to the list would be okay. The
only way I can find at the moment is to replicate a row, then do a find
and replace to change the sheet name in the formulas to the new one.
Admittedly this isn't *so* laborious, but if a neater way is possible
it would be nice!

Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
Simon.
