I find leaving out the WorksheetFunction portion works better for me. Also,
when a #N/A would be returned if used in the worksheet (no find), if you
just use Application, you can test the return value with iserror. If you
use WorksheetFunction as a qualifier, you have to use Error trapping since
it raises a trappable error.

Dim Res As Variant
Res = _
Application.VLookup(123,Range("A1:B10"),2,False)
if iserror(res) then
msgbox "Not found"
else
msgbox "Valure returned is " & res
End if

Chris,

Try something like

Dim Res As Variant
Res =
Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(123,Range("A 1:B10"),2,False)
