Thanks very much. It was the
If Range("A2").Value = Range("C2").Value Then
syntax I couldn't figure out.

try this..
Sub Matchit()
If Range("A2").Value = Range("C2").Value Then
MsgBox "match"

MsgBox "no match"
End If

Not sure if I'm going about this right.
I need to go compare text (a name) in a cell with text (a name) in another
cell.

After that I do some stuff, which I should be able to handle. I just can't
figure the VBA syntax to do that. It will be part of a larger macro.

New to VBA and can't seem to find a web site that helps.
