I have a worksheet into which I'm importing a userlist generated by
another application. This list contains user IDs that will determine
who can open the spreadsheet application.

As part of the workbook's OPEN event, the users must log in to the app.
I'm getting the user ID via an InputBox, and I want to verify that the
value is within column 1 of sheet 2.

VLOOKUP seems to cough, however, on the variable reference. This value
(the variable) will be different, since the app will run on a number of
servers with mirrored network layouts. So, when the sheet loads, the
userlist will shrink and grow over time.

I'd like to know how I can get this done. It doesn't really matter to
me if the procedure involves VLOOKUP or any other function- I just need
to be able to allow or deny access to the application. I'd appreciate
any push in the right direction.
