Hi Bob,

Thanks for the offer of help.
The result of building the lookup in workbook on c:
(in part, by pointing to the data lookup range in the other workbook)
is
=VLOOKUP(1,'C:\...path...\TA_TestScript.xls'!TestC aseInfo,3,FALSE)

Using this in VBA as
variable =
Application.WorksheetFunction.VLOOKUP(1,'C:\...pat h...\TA_TestScript.xls'!Te
stCaseInfo,3,FALSE)
gives the error
"Expected: Expression"

Is this enough for you to comment on?

Larry

Larry,

No it is worksheet formula. It is exactly as I created on my system and
did
work.

Post your adapted version and let's see if we can work out what it should
be.

Thanks.

Is that code for use in VBA to get a value from an xls in another
folder?

I get the error
"Expected: Expression"
when I adapt it to my scenario.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Larry,

=VLOOKUP("Chelsea",'D:\Bob\My Documents\My Spreadsheets\[Premiership
2003.xls]League Table'!$B$3:$Z$22,25,FALSE)

'D:\Bob\My Documents\My Spreadsheets\[Premiership 2003.xls] is the
workbook

League Table is the sheet

Hello --

Can someone show me the format for using VLOOKUP in VBA to get a
value
from
an xls in another folder?

In a worksheet
=VLOOKUP(1,TA_TestScript.xls!TestCases,2,FALSE)

TA_TestScript.xls is the closed file

works, but I can't figure out the correct combination of [ ], " ",
etc.
to
make it reference an xls in another folder, using VBA.

Thanks for any help.

Larry Mehl
