Default Vlookup refs a cell that has a worksheet name

How can I get VLOOKUP to look at a cell which contains the name of a
Worksheet, from this, get it to look at a the same named Worksheet and do
its "looking".
The aim is to avoid creating individual 100 VLOOKUPS that each need to look
at a unique worksheet (the base worksheet already has 100 worksheet names
typed into col A). This would then sum up common criteria (numbers) found in
those worksheets?

This is what I've tried, unsuccessfully: =
VLOOKUP(A6,INDIRECT("A5")$B$6:$C$10,2,FALSE).

I know that =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(6,2,,,B1)) will find info in another
worksheet, based on looking at a worksheet name in cell B1, but I can not
get this function to join up with VLOOKUP.


Thanks

Peter
