Why do I get VLookup error 1004
 

After defining a new Name ("_year") in my worksheet, I find that my makro
code (Private Sub cmdNewEntry744_Click()
With NewEntries
..Show
End With
End Sub)
can no longer open my dialog box. I get a runtime error 1004 a message
refering to VLookup property of Workbook function class.
The name "_year" refers to "=If(month="JAN.";R[-1]C + 1; R[-1]C)".

WhatIdo??

I presume you mean WorksheetFunction.VLookup.

It is unclear exactly how you are trying to refer to the Excel defined name.
You should show us a code snippet.

But in any case, I can imagine that WorksheetFunction.VLookup cannot
reference an Excel defined name.

I would use the Evaluate function. I cannot be more specific because you
were not more specific.
