Hi

Try something like this.

Set rnglookup = Workbooks("book1").Sheets("sheet1").Range
("a1:b3")

model = 1

lookup_data = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(model, Range
(rnglookup.Address(external:=True)), 2, False)
MsgBox lookup_data

Any help would be appreciated
Lookup_Data = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Model, RngLookup,
2, False)
I want to use RngLookup for a range eventually in an .xla
however I cant
seem to get an external reference to an open file when it
is not the active
workbook

In other words is it possible to use that function
referencing an open file
that is not the activesheet? if so I need the syntax

Thank you

Jeff
