Help with complex formula

[Ethnod]

I need help, I have a formula pulling data from a specific sheet, looking up using acc numbers. It is looking for a specific result, is yes it writes yes and if it gets anything else it writes no. There is an error check there also that if it gets a null result it replaces that with a No also.

=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(A2,'**file location on server**\[**file name**]**Sheet name**'!$B$2:$CM$500000,43,0)="**Specific result I am looking for**","Yes","No"),"No")

When I run that formula I get all No's, which is incorrect, yet when I separate the formula out in different cells and then do the nested parts in stages it works fine and I can verify that the data is correct. Same principle but just in stages instead of nested like above.

Any thoughts?
