Default Not finding matching value in vlookup

I have two worksheets Both contain in column A a list for values starting at
A0000001 and ending at A0012068. I am doing a vlookup from worksheet one to
return values from worksheet two. for some reason the function is returning
#N/A. I think that although it looks like I am trying to lookup A0000001
with A0000001, the function is seeing two different formats.
ie
Worksheet 1 Worksheet 2
column A Column A
A0000001 A0000001
A0000005 A0000002
A0000006 A0000003
A0000004
A0000005
A0000006
A0000007

Thanks
Jill

Hi Jill

Show us your formula. Without that is impossible to see what's wrong.

Make sure your VLOOKUP Range uses fixed addresss ($A$1:$A$10)
