    Vlookup between two textboxes

    Hi there,
    I have done some searching on how to do the following, but could not find a working solution:

    I have TextBox1 which data is retrieved from a sheet named "Issues"
    Now I have TextBox2 that I need to look up a value based on Textbox1 from a sheet named "Drawings"

    I have this, but it is not working:

    What kind of TextBoxes?

    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. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..
    To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'.
    To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

    On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'.
    Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments.

    You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page.
    Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

    To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file.

    To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page.
    Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    Hope that helps.

    I would have to guess that you want the Change event of textbox1 (though I would use the Exit event instead) rather than Textbox2 and you should assign the value to Textbox2, not Textbox1

    Re: Vlookup between two textboxes

    Thank you OnErrorGoTo,

    unfortunately that does not work either

    attached are a dummy spreadsheet.

    1) in visual Basic, Open the Edit form
    2) Select the Issues tab.

    What already work is, the texboxes named txtISID1to txtISID14 display drawing ID's from the Issues spreadsheet when selecting a issue on the left listbox.
    What I want is that the textboxes named txtDRNAME1 to txtDRNAME14 to display the Drawing numbers on the Drawings spreadsheet, according to the Drawing ID in txtISID1to txtISID14

    I know it must be possible, I just miss something and cannot seem to find it

    Really appreciate the help!

    Why not try a different approach & use a listBox to select from?
