Default 5 months prior to date macro help please

Hello, could someone please help me with the following? I need a macro
that looks up column AQ (a date column).

I then need the macro to calculate the date five-months prior to the
dates in range AQ3 : AQ65000.

With the new calculated date (five-months prior to date) - I need to
determine if the associated values in column X contain the text
"VACANT".

So I need the macro to lookup column X (a text column) and if any of the
cells in range X3 to X65000 contain the text "VACANT" then that record
needs to be copied to another open workbook named 5 Months Out.xls, and
onto worksheet named: 5 Months Out. The copied rows need to be pasted
onto the new worksheet starting at cell: A3.

For example: cell AQ5 contains the date: 01-Dec-09. The date
five-months prior to this would be: 01-Nov-09. In Column X there are
cells in range X3:X65000 that contain the text "VACANT". These are
located in cells: X5 and X24. Thus, the entire rows (row 5 and row 24)
need to be copied to the open workbook named 5 Months out.xls onto
worksheet named: 5 Months Out into cell A3 (all of row 3).

I am using Excel 2003 with Win XP.

Any help in this macro would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Chris.
