vlookup in a msword macro returning an error
I am doing a vlookup in a word macro and I keep getting an error as the value
returned which is error 2042. I am unsure what exactly that error is and I capture it using the iserror method but what I would really like is the actual value from the spreadsheet I am doing the lookup on. A sample of my code is below: AppXL.workbooks.Open ("C:\Model Pilot\Listing" & dlrrep & ".xls") AppXL.workbooks.Open ("C:\Model Pilot\Model Grid_test.xls") AppXL.workbooks.Open ("C:\Model Pilot\Names.xls") workbooks("Listing" & dlrrep & ".xls").worksheets("Sheet1").Activate With Activesheet 'get the last row of data for the ranges. lislrow = AppXL.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row For counter = 2 To lislrow lokval = AppXL.Cells(counter, 15).Value 'row Z - col L of model grid res = AppXL.vlookup(lokval, workbooks("Model Grid_test.xls").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:M55"), 12, False) If IsError(res) Then AppXL.Cells(counter, 26).Value = "" Else: xlApp.Cells(counter, 26).Value = res End If next counter The value it is supposed to return is "scs". Any help is appreciated even if I knew what the error 2042 is I could figure out what might be my problem. If I do it from excel in the spreadsheet it doesn't have any errors so I'm a little stumped. TIA Heather |

vlookup in a msword macro returning an error
? cvErr(xlErrNa)
Error 2042 so it is the #N/A error meaning the value was not found. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "HeatherO" wrote in message ...

vlookup in a msword macro returning an error
You mean it did not find my lookup value or the one to return? If it is the
lookup value I am just wondering if it is because I am doing a lookup from one number to another number. If I check the formating of both the lookup value and the one I am looking for they are both formated as numbers but I didn't think that would give me this error. Could it have anything to do with page protection? It's just wierd that when I do it in the spreadsheet it's fine but doing it from the macro and it's not.

vlookup in a msword macro returning an error
Hi Tom,
Never mind I figured it out, I guess the tylenol finally kicked in. I had the lokval defined as a string and since it was a numeric value I changed it to be defined as an integer and it worked fine. It's hard to think clearly when my head feels like a major brain freeze. Thanks for your help, I really appreciated it, it helped me figure out where to begin.
