Simple enough Les, just like so

=VLOOKUP("b",'C:\Documents and
Settings\Bob\Desktop\[Def_sample.xls]Sheet2'!$A$1:$B$6,2,FALSE)

You shoukld be able top work it out to suit your workbook.

Bob gave you a good answer for using in a worksheet cell.

You can't do that in VBA code however. You would need to have your code
put the formula in a cell and then get the value it returns.

there are other methods, but none that are as direct or as fast.

You can modify the formula to do a Vlookup
