Check if your vlookup function looks like this, this will serve your purpose.
=VLOOKUP(A2,[Book2.xls]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,0)

here i am writing this function from Book1.xls and referring data from
Book2.xls where the data is in Sheet1

James

"NOTE" If i change anything in those rows in source.xls then it should
automatically change the same rows in destination.xls. Please can you help
me and advice on what to do. Thanks alot.
