I want the Master worksheet to look for a city/town in the City worksheet
and place that value in V3.

dim Location as string ' number used to look for city

Worksheets("Master").Activate
With ActiveSheet
.Range("V3") = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Location,
Sheets("City").Range("A2:B3"), 2, False)

End With
