Can anyone shed some light on the below run time error for the line highlighted. I am a newby guy's so don't get too technical on me. Thanks for any advice.
Sub GetPrice()
Dim PartNum As Variant
Dim Price As Double
PartNum = InputBox("Enter the Part Number")
Sheets("Prices").Activate
Price = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(PartNum, Range("PriceList"), 2, False)
MsgBox PartNum & " costs " & Price
End Sub

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
That error indicates that Price is returned as an error, likely because PartNum can't be found. To avoid the run time error, try it like this;
VBA Code:
Sub GetPrice()
Dim PartNum As Variant
Dim Price As Variant
PartNum = InputBox("Enter the Part Number")
Sheets("Prices").Activate
Price = Application.VLookup(PartNum, Range("PriceList"), 2, False)
If IsError(Price) Then
    MsgBox "Can't find Part Num " & PartNum
Else
    MsgBox PartNum & " costs " & CDbl(Price)
End If
End Sub
NOTE that Price has been dimensioned as a Variant not as Double. That allows Price to be an error if PartNum not found or a double if PartNum is found.

I'm going to Guess there is no range named "PriceList"
Thanks Dave, You pushed me in the right direction. I did not define my range name and when I did initially incorrectly but persistence paid off.
