Default Vlookup multiple worksheets

You just check for the error and keep checking...

=IF(NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(x,'[table1.xls]Sheet1'!1:65536,2,FALSE))),
VLOOKUP(x,'[table1.xls]Sheet1'!1:65536,2,FALSE),
IF(NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(x,'[table1.xls]Sheet2'!1:65536,2,FALSE))),
VLOOKUP(x,'[table1.xls]Sheet2'!1:65536,2,FALSE)))

And watch your apostrophes--you didn't need the one you used, but if you used
it, you had to have each of the pair.

The answer is probably posted on another thread but if you could help me out
I would appreciate it.

So far I have:
=VLOOKUP(x,[Table1.xls]Sheet1'!$1:$65536,2,FALSE)

which references one page, how would I search another workbook if a #N/A is
given back.
