Hello all,

I'm trying to write up a macro for excel to streamline some things I
have to do regularly, but this one is giving me a bit of trouble. I
don't think it is too complicated, I could probably do it in C++
easily, but VBA is always iffy with me. Luckily, with some help from
others, I got most of it written but I am having a small problem
still.

First some background:
I have two workbooks, each with 1 sheet in them.

'WorkbookA.xls|Sheet1' is more or less static list but it may have
additional entries from month to month (think of it as a 'flag it'
list). It essentially contains information about things. The names are

all in column A (lets say down to 100 for simplicity's sake). The
locations are in column B.


Code:
--------------------
Example:
1) Column A Column B

2) Person A CHARLOTTE
3) Person B JACKSONVILLE
4) Person C HALIFAX

--------------------


'WorkbookB.xls|Sheet1' has a rather large list of transactions which
get assigned an ID in column A by a macro we already have in place. The

names are in column C. The locations are in column D


Code:
--------------------

Example:
1) A B C D


2) 123 Contact A Person A CHARLOTTE (More info)
3) 123 Contact A Person B JACKSONVILLE (More info)
4) 225 Contact B Person A CHARLOTTE (More info)
5) 225 Contact B Person D LOS ANGELES (More info)
6) 334 Contact C Person C HALIFAX (More info)


--------------------


However, Workbook B does not account for any of the 'flagged' items in

workbook A. In the above Workbook B example, rows 2,3,4, and 6 should
be flagged.

So I need this macro to take the data from column A in the
first workbook, and run it through Workbook B (column C). If it were to

find a match, it should change Workbook B (Column A) to another ID
value (lets say
5000).
For simplicity, only name matching was done at first, here is the code
thus far:

Code:
--------------------
Dim rngA as Range, rngB as Range, rng as Range
Dim cell as Range, sAddr as String
with workbooks("WorkbookA.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1")
set rngA = .range(.Cells(1,1),.Cells(1,1).end(xldown))
End with
With workbooks("WorkbookB.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1")
set rngB = .Range(.Cells(1,3),.Cells(1,3).End(xldown))
End with
for each cell in rngA
set rng = rngB.Find(What:=cell.Value, _
After:=rngB(rngB.count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)
if not rng is nothing then
sAddr = rng
do
if rng.offset(0,1).Value = _
cell.offset(0,1).Value then
cell.offset(0,-2).Value = 5000
end if
set rng = rngB.FindNext(rng)
loop until rng.Address = sAddr
End if
Next
--------------------


I get errors on the following line:
cell.offset(0,-2).Value = 5000

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
