Try this:

=IF(COUNTIF('Jan 3 06'!C3:C28,C4),IF(VLOOKUP(C4,'Jan 3
06'!C3:F28,4,0)=0,"",VLOOKUP(C4,'Jan 3 06'!C3:F28,4,0)),"")

Just in case the values you're returning are numbers use this one:

=IF(COUNTIF('Jan 3 06'!C3:C28,C4),IF(VLOOKUP(C4,'Jan 3
06'!C3:F28,4,0)="","",VLOOKUP(C4,'Jan 3 06'!C3:F28,4,0)),"")

The 0 means the same thing as FALSE, look for an exact match. I'm just lazy
and don't like to type a lot! 1 would mean the same thing as TRUE, look for
an approximate match.
