For some reason my VLookup line does not work.

VBA Code:
For i = 1 To LRow
        strStaffEmails = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(CLng(Me.Staff_Names), pws.Range("Lookup"), 2, 0)
        Next i

VBA Code:
Private Sub POEmailStaff()

    Dim wb     As Workbook
    Dim ws     As Worksheet
    Dim pwb    As Workbook
    Dim pws    As Worksheet
    Dim LRow   As Long
    Dim Rng    As Range
    Dim strTable As String
    Dim strStaffEmails As String
    Dim FormatRuleInput As String
    Dim Result As String
    Dim i      As Integer
    Dim intNumRows As Integer
    Dim intRow As Integer
    Dim EmailApp As Object
    Dim EmailItem As Object
    Dim xMailbody As Object

    Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
    Set ws = wb.Sheets("Sheet")
    Set pwb = Workbooks("MyPersonal.xlsb")
    Set pws = pwb.Sheets("Contacts")
    LRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Set Rng = Application.InputBox( _
         Title:="EmailRange", _
         Prompt:="Select Range to Email", _
         Type:=8)
    If Rng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    On Error Resume Next
    intNumRows = Rng.Rows.Count
    
    strTable = "<table border=1>"
    strTable = strTable & "<tr>"

Excel Facts

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Trying to loop through the range to use vlookup email address`s in pws worksheet using the value of the listbox.

Does Staff_Names contain a numeric value?

Just wondered why it was wrapped in CLng
 
Upvote 0
So this code is from a Userform module
Maybe Staff_Names is the value from a textbox; do you need to convert it to a Long? Ie: your vlookup colun in pws.Range("Lookup") is a Number?

But again: what is the purpose of the Loop? It repeat X times the same VLookup, getting therefore the same (the same) result everytime you execute the vlookup.

When your needs will be clear we shall discuss about using Application.VLookup (and manage the possible Error returned by a failing lookup) vs Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup (that rise a Runtime error if the lookup fails)

Don`t worry now works forgot to change the work sheet name to the new one??

You mean that the line Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup is executed without any run time error but the variable strStaffEmails shows "", whereas column B in "pws" is not empty?

Edit: I see that you use On Error Resume next; remove that line so that you can see all the errors the code generates
My guess is that you will receive a run time error on the vlookup, to mean that the string is not found in the lookup table; but we cannot go on with best guesses
