Default The Road- Matching data within a range of values

Hi,

I have been given a rather difficult task and I was hoping someone
might be able to give me a start I have two workbooks.

Workbook 1

Group Start End Rank
L 67105567 67115567 1.807
L 201319966 201329966 0.631
M 33266853 33276853 2.078

Workbook 2
Group Start End
L 27433757 27507677
L 205694218 205729852
M 27237837 27289381

I am trying to figure out how to write code to compare each row in
Workbook 2 with the rows in Workbook 1. If the Group column matches
and the range of Workbook 2 fall within the range defined in Workbook
1 I would like to copy the value in the column rank to workbook 2.

Example (simplified)

Workbook 1

Group Start End Rank
L 2 99 5
L 3 5 6

Workbook 2
Group Start End
L 3 4
L 2 37

Workbook 2 (New)
Group Start End Rank
L 3 4 6
L 2 37 5

I know this is probably very complicated but again if anyone could
give me a shove in the right direction as to how to begin the coding I
would be very thankful
