Default HLOOKUP using variable columns

I'm trying to reference a variable column rather than a specific column # in
my HLOOKUP formula.


A1 B1 C1 D1
A2 1/6/2009 Today's Date
A3 1/6/2009 Start Date
A4
A5 1/5/2009 1/6/2009
A6 1/5/2009 1 0
A7 1/6/2009 2 1


I would write my formula as =HLOOKUP(B3,$B$6:$D$7,?,FALSE) In place of the
? I've tried to reference a cell that contained a whole number but that didnt
work. I want to be able to copy and paste this formula for several different
individuals based upon their starting date & not necess. column D every time.
Any ideas here? Please use literal interpretation (A6=A6,B6=1/6/2009,C6=2).
