OK I hit reply, but I do not see your e-mail address. Mine is my display
name at juno dot com.

It's OK. I've just munged my email address - hit reply, and then when
pormpted, remove the spaces, and change the dot to . Otherwise, you can
post
your email address, though I would suggest you do it like: myfirstname
dot
mylastname at blah dot com. I'll figure it out.

I just found the reply button, but I don't know how to contact you
privately.
Can you contact me? Can you please give me basic instructions on how
to
do
what you say? Sorry I am such a beginner. Thanks.

If your two databases of names, etc., are sorted in a different
order,
then
Chip's add-in will highlight everything. For example, if you add a
new
item
into row 1 of a 2,000 row database, without making any other
changes,
then
every cell will be highlighted as having changed (that is, if they
are
unique values).
I have an add-in that isn't as polished as Chip's - it requires that
the
two
sheets be placed into the same active workbook - but it does a
database
style comparison based on a key value in a column. The end result
is
that
the rows can be sorted differently (although the columns must be in
the
same
order) and it will find true differences based on the key values.
If
you
want the add-in, contact me privately and I will send it to you.

I have a spreadsheet list of names, addresses, phone numbers, &
e-mail
addresses that I maintain for our class reunion. The Alumni
Association
has
a list that they keep on the web, but they can download it into
Excel,
because that is where I got the spreadsheet in the first place. I
send
them
changes when I get them, but they do not send me changes when they
get
them.
I would like to be able to have the computer compare them
automatically.
I
have had to do it manually before and it is really tedious and
time
consuming. Is there a simple way to do this? I don't have much
computer
experience. I have just updated the spreadheet they gave to me.
