Default VLOOKUP always returning the same value!

I'm an experienced Excel user, and have run into something beyond strange. My
vlookups (whether manually entered or run as part of an existing macro) will
now ONLY return the looked-up value for the first entry when I drop OR paste
the contents of the first cell down.

FOR EXAMPLE: If I have two sheets - one with names and phone numbers and one
with names and birthdays, and i try to do a vlookup on name between the two
sheets, it looks like this:

Sam 3/29/78 414-323-4132
Sally 5/23/68 414-323-4132
Tara 2/2/34 414-323-4132

I can then continue to paste the copied (original) formula beside blank
cells, and it will still continue to return the 414-323-4132 number.
STRANGE! - and FRUSTRATING!!!

Can someone help? Is there a setting I've inadvertently clicked? I've
already verified data types, forms, etc...the standard stuff. I've also shut
down/restarted, etc...nothing. I know it's not the reports b/c the VLOOKUP
works on other computers on the same reports. WHAT DID I DO?!?

Thank you! - Jennifer
