Default Question about linking please

I can set a direct link to another workbook called

='[orange.xls]07-27'!$i$20

Is there a way to change it so that the 07-27 equals to whatever is entered
in cell a7, for example if 08-20 is entered it goes to workbook orange sheet
08-20

i tried

='[orange.xls]&a7'!$i$20, but that did not work

cam someone please help me

Thank you!

See my response in your previous post, Question regarding Lookup.

This would allow you to enter a date into a cell, and use that date to name
the tab in the ORANGE workbook.

=INDIRECT("'[ORANGE.xls]"&TEXT(MONTH(A7),"00")&"-"&TEXT(DAY(A7),"00")&"'!$I$20")

Formula now modified to fit new criteria.

and as both Gary and I stated before, the ORANGE workbook needs to be open.
