Default VLOOKUP Question

Not a very knowledgeable Excel 2003 user, but - I am trying to lookup a value
from column B2:B415 in worksheet 1 and trying to find the matching value in
worksheet2, column A2:A415. I would like the value in the next column in
worksheet 2 to be returned to the column in worksheet 1 where I am entering
the value. What is returned is the same value I am looking for:

=VLOOKUP(B2,'[EDI Vendors and Maps.xls]Sheet1'!$A$2,1,FALSE)

First value is 2 and finds match and returns 2, when I want the value in the
second column. I know I am doing something stupid, so all help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks from a frustrated user - Rich
