Default Can references to cells be used as part of a workbook reference

I currently use dozens of separate workbooks that contain data and must copy
and paste the data to a summary workbook for analysis. I would like to be
able to retrieve the data from the proper workbook by specifying either part
of all of the workbook name as the column header in the summary workbook.

For example: If column A in the summary workbook is titled "(2-27-06)" I
would like cell A5 to retrieve the data contained in workbook "Material Data
(2-27-06)" cell M29.

Also, If I change the column title in the summary workbook I would like the
data retrieved from the new data workbook, e.g; (2-28-06).

I have tried several reference and lookup functions to no avail.
