I cannot get my xlookup to work,  i do have security and have set the X User Name correctly (mine), yet I get nothing.  No lookup or error message.

Can anyone give me a clue.  I don't have quotations where I don't need them, I do have directory spec'd as necessary. Cry

Hello Nancy,

Is employee a Q&A file or a Sesame File?

If it is a Q&A file your code will need to be
Code
Select All
PRODBY = @xLOOKUP("D:\Sesame\Data\employee.dtf", PRODBY, "EMPLOYEE!Initials", "FullName")  



If it is a Sesame file your code will need to be
Code
Select All
PRODBY = @xLOOKUP("D:\Sesame\Data\employee.db", PRODBY, "EMPLOYEE!Initials", "FullName")

Also, a reminder that XLUs do not work in Preview Mode.
