Default Excel programming: change detection

Hi!

I am a total freshman in Excel programming. I need help in the following
problem (preferably for Excel 2000, if there's a difference):

- I have a very large retail price list in Excel format (more than 5000
products)
- every week I get a new net price list from my wholesaler
- the new net price list includes also new products and (sometimes) changes
to product prices etc


I need a set of Excel macros to use to compare my price list and my
wholesaler's price list to find

- new products (every product has a unique product number)
- changed products (price and/or any other feature)


The result of these macros should be:

- either a separate sheet with only the new products/only the changed
products included
- or some way to mark the rows on the new net price list that have changed


Even better would be if I could make this process totally automatic,
resulting to my original retail price list being updated automatically,
every time I get a new net price list


I thank everyone trying to help me,
Jari Tuomi,
