Default String Search

Hello,

I have two tables where I want find the best match according to the
description on both tables. The result will be the corresponding code in the
second table.
Example:

first table
code description
101 agri
102 single family
103 mobile home
104 vacant land
105 recr

Second table

Code Description
1000 Agricultural
1002 Single Family Residence
1003 Recreational
1004 Vacant

When both tables are matched, the macro should look for the best fit in
table 2 and returns the code. The 'Best fit' will depend on words that match
(maybe the first 4 to 5 letters) and a count of words. The match with the
highest count will define which code should be pulled....

Greatly appreciated!
