I am still confused as to when and were I need to proceed my element name with database or layout name with xlookup.

Filename = the complete path of my database

Key =  the element name in the current record whose content matches the key in external record

     Do I need to proceed this with database or layout name and !  ???

Ext key= element name in the lookup database whose content matches the key in current Database

     Do I need to proceed this with database or layout name and ! ???

Source element  = element from source database you want to retrieve

     Do I need to proceed this with database or layout name and ! ???

Target= the destination element
     Do I need to proceed this with database or layout name and ! ???

Let us get it right. You do not use Database name and Labels in xlookup anywhere.

First is application name: i.e.   *.db with path name.

every other places you use Layout Name (Form Name) or Layout Element Name as required. I hope this is clear.

The simple answer to your question is NO.   Unless the Ext Key is located in an application that has multipe forms with the same element name (not the label).  But I have noticed quicker times by specifing the layout if there is multi forms and none have the same element name, I believe this narrows down the search for the element.
