You don't mention exactly what column or cell this VLOOKUP formula is in. And where that is in relation to the cell containing the dropdown selection that is to be used as the first reference in the VLOOKUP. Those are two key elements.
- Assuming for sake of illustration that the drop down is in cell C2 of the "Form" tab, I think your VLOOKUP should read simply
