Default User selects existing sheet to paste to

Very grateful for any help: I am a novice at this.

I have a spreadsheet with multiple sheets, already named (lets say
Mon, Tues, Wed).

A macro visits other Excel files, retrieves data by copying. I want
to allow the user to select the paste destination (sheet name only,
cells A1 to end). The cells are all in the same format etc, all I need
is to let the user specify - either by typing, or by selecting from a
list, which sheet (Mon,Tue,Wed) to paste to, and then let the macro
continue to paste and do other things.

I have tried :

Range("A1:L6").Select
Selection.copy
Application.InputBox( _
"use mouse to select worksheet", Type:=8)
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub

and I have tried

SelectAnswer = InputBox("Tell me a sheet name.")
Worksheets(Answer).Activate
Range("D4").Value = "Done it!"

and I have tried to create a drop down list. All fail! Some error
checking, or a drop down selection, would be helpful to limit user
error but not essential.

PS Working in Excel2007

Thanks in advance
