I just got a new Excel report from my company. I thought that it was running too slow so I sugegsted that they redo it in Access. The response I got was that the tool is in Access Runtime. This was the first time I encountered this phrase.

After Googling for a bit I think I understand that Runtime is like Acrobat Reader, it is Access Junior.

But when I open the file (which is an xlsb file) it runs in Excel. How does this work? It looks to me like it is just an Excel file.

What am I not understanding? Or was I misinformed and this *is* and Excel file.

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
