Default Indirect inside a vlookup

Hello,
I am trying to do a Vlookup that would automatically refer to a different
sheet in a workbook. I have a workbook called January08.xlxs with 31 sheets
called 1-1 to 1-31 respectivally. I would like to do a vlookup on cell D7 and
have it return the contents of sheet 1-1in the D8 cell and would like the
contents of sheet 1-2 in cell D9. In a normal vlookup it looks as follows
=VLOOKUP(D7,'[January08.xlsx]1-1'!$A$6:$F$64,2,FALSE) in cell D8. I would
like to automaticcaly reference the next work sheet in the next row to have
the formula =VLOOKUP(D7,'[January08.xlsx]1-2'!$A$6:$F$64,2,FALSE) in Cell D9
and so forth. I put a reference in column A with the sheet reference in each
row. Cell A8 has the text of 1-1, cell A9 has 1-2 and cell A38 has 1-31.I
tried using the INDIRECT function inside the Vlookup but have had no luck.
The formula I tried was
=VLOOKUP(D7,INDIRECT("[January08.xlxs]"&A8&"!$A6:$F64"),2,FALSE) Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
