the reason for the way I described it is because I'm dealing with a lot of
'one-dimensional' people who are afraid to do anything but their simple
spreadsheet in case something goes wrong. Otherwise I'd write a quick Access
db to handle the data for them... I write dbs and build links to files for a
large org, so I need a way thru vb or reference to look at the first
worksheet without opening it so I don't have to modify a hundred worksheet
links on the first of every fiscal year.

I added a summary worksheet at the end of the sheets to summarize some info.
I will name the range and use it to pull in info from an Access db. I want
to link this to the FIRST worksheet only. What happens is every fiscal year
they add a new worksheet in the first position, so this year ws1 is 'MD
2010', but in a few months they will add 'md 2011', and I want my summary to
link to the worksheet in the first position, not any particular name. (so
the cell link ='md 2010'!B2 won't work) thx
