Default Prevent Formulas from Advancing


Does anyone know how to prevent a formula from advancing when you copy
it down. My situation is this, I'm trying to use the VLookup function
to pull data from a table. When I copy the formula down, it doesn't
just advance the lookup value number, it also advances the table array.
I do want the lookup value to advance of course, but not the table
array. I want the table array to be the same all the way down. For
example, the formula looks like this:

=VLOOKUP(B2,'September 2005'!A2:G296,1,FALSE)

When I copy it down it changes to:

=VLOOKUP(B3,'September 2005'!A3:G297,1,FALSE)

and the numbers A3:G297 keep advancing as I copy the formula down.

Like I said, I do want the B2 to advance to B3, but I do not want the
A2:G296 to change when I copy the formula down. Is there a way to do
this?
