Default VLOOKUP with date as an argument

I can't seem to duplicate your problem.......I have attemped to model
everything you have described, but it all seems to work for me in Excel97.
As you know, VLOOKUP is very sensitive when you use the FALSE option,
requiring that the values be exactly the same, and both either TEXT or
NUMBERS.

I have a problem !
In one spreadsheet I have in I152 a formula "I151+1", which formatted as a date gives me "30 nov 07" as a result.
In another spreadsheet I have an array where the same "30 nov 07" coming from a formula "Date(e6;11;30)" (where e6 = 2007), also formatted as a date.
I want to VLOOKUP a result in the second spreadsheet, with the date from the first spreadsheet as argument.
(It works without "FALSE" in the VLOOKUP-formula, but I want to make it work WITH this "FALSE". One never knows...)
Can somebody help me ?
Thanks in advance
