Use of &[Tab] in the body of a worksheet

[stealthyone]

How do I make the name of a worksheet (e.g., "Sheet1") appear in the body of
the worksheet? &[Tab] works great in the footer, but won't work in the
data...

Using Excel 2003

=MID(CELL("filename",A2),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A2))+1,255)

I tried this formula, but am only receiving #VALUE! ... if I step into the
formula wizard, it says the formula is "volatile".

What am I doing wrong?

Nevermind ... the file just needed to be saved for it to work. Beauty!
