worksheet cross reference

I use a excel workbook for quotes. A new worksheet for each quote. Worksheets
a numbered sequentially from 5000 onward.
I want to create a summary worksheet within the workbook, one row for each
worksheet. Column A in the summary is the quote number.
The summary needs to take data from fixed cells in each worksheet, eg cell
A17 is name, A18 is address. I also want to include the quote amount. This is
in a named cell called TOTL.
What I can't figure out is how the get the formulas the read column A in the
summary to get the worksheet page.

Suppose you have the sheet name in 'Summary' worksheet Col A cell A1

A1 = 5000
the formula in B1 will get the name from cell A1 of sheet specified in A1
= INDIRECT("'" & A1 & "'!A17")

the formula in C1 will get the address from cell A1 of sheet specified in A1
= INDIRECT("'" & A1 & "'!A18")

the formula in D1 will get the quote amount from cell A1 of sheet specified
in A1
= INDIRECT("'" & A1 & "'!TOTL")

In A2 enter the next sheet name (5001) and copy the fomulas from B1,C1,D1
down..

You could use INDIRECT ..

In the summary sheet,
Assume the quotation sheetnames are listed in A2 down,
eg: 5000, 5001, etc
In B2: =INDIRECT("'"&$A2&"'!A17")
In C2: =INDIRECT("'"&$A2&"'!A18")
Copy B2:C2 down as far as required to return the names and addresses
