Default Need to compare 2 worksheets...

Hi there folks! Using E02 on XP. I'm looking for a bit of advice here,
wondering if I could be aimed in the right direction before I flounder about.

I have a set of files, in one (DataIn.xls) I paste a series spreadsheets
provided and the other (DataOut.xls) has shells (pretty presentation type,
printable data) with many, many cells linked to cells in DataIn.xls. My
output is good and chance of data entry error is next to nil.

My dilemma is this: there is an OLD file that requires all numbers be
manually keyed in from printed sheets (the same data I paste in my DataIn.xls
file). My boss has asked me to execute my linking procedure monthly for the
next 6 months AND provide something identifying all differences in the
numbers between MY DataOut.xls and the manually keyed sheet (that is set up
identically to my DataOut.xls). What is the best way to approach comparing
the 2 worksheets? I'm thinking I need to create a 3rd sheet/file that will
look at [DataOut.xls]Comp3'!$B$122 and compare it with
[Manual.xls]Comp3'!$B$122. If no difference, nothing, if a difference, show
"Error" in RED. Am I anywhere near base here?

Would appreciate any help or advice, need some direction. Thanks in advance
for your time!
