why does xlnm get superimposed in my formulas upon exit
Hi:
I need to know exactly what xlnm is, because it's messing me up. I have two excel files, one used as a database [which is on a drive through my home network] and the other as a reader, {Showing the Database on a more readable form display},using the VLOOKUP function. This method has worked properly until i added photos to the reader file. When the file was first up and the photos inserted, it works perfectly. Click on a file reference and the data comes up as well as the persons photo. I saved the reader file as a xlsm extension to save the VB program. Everything works OK. I close the files and re open them later and the Links to the database are all messed up, Somehow a _xlnm. is being automatically inserted in front of the VLOOKUP cell range, which I Named Database The Link Formula: =VLOOKUP(H3,'\\Your-4dacd0ea75\wdc usb2 (j)\CCCBC\Database and Reader\2008 CCCBC DataBase.xlsm'!_xlnm.Database,30) Note the _xlnm. in front of database when the file is reopened. When I remove the _xlnm. from all formulas everything works OK again. What is xlnm and why does Excel insert it in the formula. I have VB6 Office 2007, Vista. Jimmy D. Carter |

Hi,
I don't think this is an XML issue, probably your VLOOKUP function is looking at a different file. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "JD in Riverbank" wrote: Hi: I need to know exactly what xlnm is, because it's messing me up.

why does xlnm get superimposed in my formulas upon exit
Thank You Shane for the Input. It made me take another look at the whole
formula and I kept the reader as an .xlsm file and changed the database back to a .xls file upon deleting (again) all of the _xlnm. entries from each vLOOKUP, I toggled every Locked cell check box for the VLOOKUP formula. I saved the Database Reader file as .xlsm I closed the file and re-opened it and this time it came back perfectly and all photo entries worked as expected. Good by...... _xlnm.
