Try this:

A1: =MID(CELL("filename",$A$1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",$A$1))+1,255)

Does that help?
Post back if you have more questions.

Gentlemen,
Thank you so much for the quick and efficient assistance. Both formulas
worked well, however, Ron's permitted for changes in the tab name to be
displayed in the cell in the worksheet immediately. Don't know why but it
did. So, that is the formula I am using.
Again thank you both for the assistance.

This formula will give you spurious results.

=RIGHT(CELL("filename"),LEN(CELL("filename"))-SEARCH("]",CELL("filename")))

See Bob Phillips' site for explanation.
