Vlookup macro run time error
It sounds like the =vlookup() is returning an error.
if iserror(readerresult) then
msgbox "no match found"
else
msgbox readerresult
end if
may help your debugging.
You may want to post the formula that worked in the cell.
And what is contained in the variables in that line of code.

earlier optimism unfounded !! The code line now works (berfore it was
failing) but I cannot use the vlookup response.
I am expecting a "yes" or "no" result from vlookup in my "readerresult"
variable but subsequent macro commands do not like whatever the contents of
"readerresult" is.
I have tried the vlookup function with my data in a spreadsheet and it does
what I expect but not when I try to code it in a macro.

Try dropping the .worksheetfunction. from the line:
dim ReaderResult as Variant 'note that it's a variant
readerresult = application.vlookup(....)
if iserror(readerresult) then
'it wasn't found
else
'it was found
end if
If you use the .worksheetfunction stuff, you'll have to trap for the error.
dim ReaderResult as String 'long, whatever
on error resume next
readerresult = application.worksheetfunction.vlookup(....)
if err.number < 0 then
err.clear
'not found
else
'found
end if
on error goto 0
I find the first method easier to use.

Hope you can help !
