You would have to stick that in a cell and evaluate the cell using F9.

I meant the execution of the internal code itself. The step by step
function
of the execution of this line

res = Application.Match(Range("C7"), rng.Offset(0, -2), 0)

Using F8 only jumps from line to line for execution. I would like to see
the
execution of each part of the line.

Yes, put a break on the first code line (select it then F9), and when it
breaks, step a line at a time with F8

The code runs but in the Locals window res = Error 2042 and therefore
no
value is returned.

Could the problem be "C7" variable? Since each time this is run a new
Workbook is opened and therefore incremented, WorkBook = Sheetn;
n=1,2,3,
....

Is there a way to step through the equation itself as it is running?

The workbook VMM_FileName was opened with the following:

VMM_FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(fileFilter:="DBF Files,
*.dbf",
_
Title:="Select the VMM File")

Workbooks.OpenText FileName:=VMM_FileName

Both the workbook and the worksheet both have the name defined by
VMM_FileName.

This worked for me

Dim rng As Range, rng1 As Range
Dim res As Variant
Set rng = Worksheets("VMM_FileName").Range("D8:D2000")
res = Application.Match(Range("C7"), rng.Offset(0, -2), 0)
If Not IsError(res) Then
MsgBox
Worksheets("VMM_FileName").Range("D8:D2000").Cells (res, 1)
End If

so does this

Dim ans As Variant
ans = _



Evaluate("INDEX('VMM_FileName'!$D$8:$D$2000,(MATCH (C7,'VMM_FileName'!$B$8:$B
$2000,0)))")
If Not IsError(ans) Then
MsgBox ans
Else
MsgBox "Not found"
End If

It sounds to me that you don't have a worksheet named
VMM_Filename.

The first code causes a "Run-time error '9': Subscript out of
range"
error
at
line
set rng = Worksheets("VMM_FileName").Range("D8:D2000")

The second code runs but does not return a value. If I type
the
equation
into a cell the value is returned.

or

Evaluate("INDEX('VMM_FileName'!$D$8:$D$2000,(MATCH (C7,'VMM_FileName'!$B$8:$B

if not iserror(ans) then

Want to use the following index function in a macro.





=INDEX('VMM_FileName'!$D$8:$D$2000,(MATCH(C7,'VMM_ FileName'!$B$8:$B$2000,0))
)

Do I need to assign the value to a variable then place the
result
in a
cell.
The cell for the response is not static, it will vary as
more
responses
are
obtained.

Thanks
