Default Using cell contents in Vlookup formula

Hi,

I have the formula =VLOOKUP(B4,'September 2009'!database,2,0) which works
okay except I want the formula to read the month and year from an adjacent
cell. I thought the new formula should look something like
=VLOOKUP(B4,indirect(C4)!database,2,0) where cell C4 contains the text
September 2009.

Tried all sorts of formula but each returns either #REF! or #VALUE!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Rob
