Default trouble "locking" a portion of a formula..

Try this:
=vlookup($B2, $C$2:$C$5000, 1)
Or use a named range such as described he

I'm trying to increment one value in a vlookup (or match) formula, but
not the other, for example:
=vlookup(B2, C2:C5000, 1)
I want the range to stay the same, but the value in B column to
increment so I can just fill the rest of the column.

ie:
=vlookup(B3, C2:C5000, 1)
=vlookup(B4, C2:C5000, 1)
etc.

Any thoughts?
There are actually over 12,000 rows, and I really don't have the time
to enter each cell individually.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
