VLOOKUP in userform
Hi, I have a last small problem. I tried everything, but I can't nail it.
I have a closed external file. In this file I have two columns A and B. A contains names and B personal messages.
In the "internal" Excel 2003 file I have a multipage userform. On the second page I have a textbox that has to show the personal message on the basis of the name entered in the first page (textbox "Naam"). How do I do that? I think it's handy to put the code in the button on page 1 that navigates to page 2.
Dim ExtBk As Workbook Dim ExtFile As String ExtFile = "K:\Boodschap.xls" Set ExtBk = Workbooks(Dir(ExtFile)) Message.Value = Application.VLookup(Naam.Value, ExtBk.Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1:B20"), 2, 0)
Why do you need VBA, VLOOKUP works across workbooks
Hope that helps.

I need VBA because I use a userform. This is managed by VBA.
To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.
If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.
Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
Hope that helps.
