Hi there, I have cobbled together the code below, it is supposed to
compare
the cell values of each row on 56 sheets by comparing it with the data
on
a sheet named 'Datasheet'...The data on the 'Datasheet' is 427 rows
deep but
will be added to sooner or later... I can get it to count the hits,
but it
only does that for the first line..I can't get it to check the other
426 rows
to give the total amount of hits over all 427+ lines...

any help is greatly appreciated...
