Default MATCH() irritating feature?

Hi all

I have a worksheet called "2006" within which cell E6 contains the formula:
=MATCH(E7,Rates!Year,0)
The value of E7 is the worksheet's name derived from
=--RIGHT(CELL("filename",E7),LEN(CELL("filename",E7))-FIND("]",CELL("filename",E7)))

When I duplicate that worksheet within a workbook
(edit/copy or move sheet/copy and move to end)
then the cell E6 in the new worksheet contains the formula
=#N/A
I would prefer that it EVALUATES to #N/A but the underlying formula would
remain
=MATCH(E7,Rates!Year,0)
Then when I correct the worksheet name the error result would disappear.

I don't suppose there is any way around this?

Thanks
