"Hello --

Can someone show me the format for using VLOOKUP in VBA to get a valu
from
a closed xls file?

In a worksheet
=VLOOKUP(1,TA_TestScript.xls!TestCases,2,FALSE)

TA_TestScript.xls is the closed file

works, but I can't figure out the correct combination of [ ], " ", etc
to
make it work in VBA.

Thanks for any help.

VBA doesn't support going to closed workbooks.

Workarounds include opening the workbook, using an xl4 macro command, using
a database query with ADO or DAO. The fastest is putting your formula in a
cell, then collecting the returned value and clearing the cell.
