Struggling here and maybe being a bit thick, however had a look at Tom
Ogilvys resonse to a similar question on the 16 August 2006, tried to use the
same principals to no avail.

I have a number of PC's with large number of files that I am trying to tidy
up. I have created worksheets for all the files named on the IP Address. I
wish to have an index function that returns information dependant on 3 fields
in the main page.

I am trying to use Index and Match functions to obtain the information.
The code works fine with the formula in the cell, however with a large
number of PC's I would need to run the machine overnight !

The function I have tried is below

Function GetFileVersion(strFilePath As String, strFileName As String,
strFileType As String, strPCIP As String)

Dim ans As Variant

ans = Evaluate("INDEX('" & strPCIP & "'!$K$1:$K$5000,(MATCH((strFilePath &
strFileName & strFileType), ('" & strPCIP & "'!$A$1:$A$5000&'" & strPCIP &
"'!$B$1:$B$5000&'" & strPCIP & "'!$D$1:$D$5000),0))")

If Not IsError(ans) Then
MsgBox ans
Else
MsgBox "Not found"
End If

GetFileVersion = ans

End Function

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated

Regards
