I have had no training whatsoever in Excel. What very little I know I
have picked up by using existing worksheets. Unfortunatly I don't have
a lot of time to spend learning the system right now.
To put it short....I'm inexperienced and inept. :)

I have several sheets I have created to manage a vehicle inventory.
Currently, they are not tied together in any way. So, if I have to
make a change to one, I have to change them all.

I think what I need probably has a simple solution, but I haven't been
able to figure out what I even need to ask or look for to find the
solution.

In short, I need to link a truck number to a route number on a master
sheet.
I then need to be able to type the route number on another sheet and
have the truck number appear in the adjoining box. Sounds
simple...I'm sure it probably is.

Thought one of the experts here could throw an old dog a bone... ;)
