Default Reading Cells In another worksheet

I think I am approaching this wrong way and their might be an easier way any
help is appreciated.

I am trying to have a cell return a value from an adjacent €œtab€ within the
same workbook.

EX:
Cell €œA1€ contains the title of another worksheet, within the same file
(workbook)
In cell €œB2€ I want it to return the value (number) located in cell €œD2€
from the €œtab€ name defined in cell €œA1€ I tried this but for some reason
only get an error after entering it into the cell:
=ActiveCell.Range(A1).value2.€D2€
Is this correct?

Maybe

=indirect("'" & A1 & "'!" & "D2")

or maybe the suggestion at your other post????
