contents In this paper, our main aim is to extend a classical theorem of Phelps on norm-attaining functionals from the space of scalar-valued continuous functions $C(Ω)$ to its vector-valued counterpart $C(Ω, X)$. One of our main results provides a complete characterization of norm-attaining functionals on $C(Ω, X)$ under the assumption that $X^*$ has the Radon-Nikodým property (RNP). For a general Banach space $X$, we further investigate norm attainment at points of weak$^*$-to-weak continuity for the identity map $Id : (C(Ω, X)_1^*, w^*) \to (C(Ω, X)_1^*, w)$.
