After verifying that the formula is correct, matching cell formats, and
verifying the cell data is an exact match, I continue to get a "N/A" response
in two cells of my workbook. I've even gone so far as to back out of Excel,
re-launch the program, and re-open my source file and VLOOKUP file. Out of
over 1300 matched items, these two refuse to cooperate! Can anyone tell me
why?

I'm frazzled beyond understanding at this point... (sigh)
