Default What's wrong with this bit of code

I am trying to change a cell to a new value derived from looking itself up
in a list and cannot work out how to do it without using a temporary cell to
hold the original data and then lookup using this. I cannot see why the
following does not work!

Dim tempvar
Cells(2, 5).Select
tempvar = Cells(2, 5)
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLookup(tempvar, CodeLookup, 2, True)"
'CodeLookup is a list


Can anyone help please
