Hello all,

I'm trying to write up a macro for excel to streamline some things I
have to do regularly, but this one is giving me a bit of trouble. I
don't think it is too complicated, I could probably do it in C++
easily, but VBA is always iffy with me.

Basically, I have two workbooks, each with 1 sheet in them.

'WorkbookA.xls|Sheet1' is more or less static list but it may have
additional entries from month to month (think of it as a 'flag it'
list). It essentially contains information about things. The names are
all in column A (lets say down to 100 for simplicity's sake). The
locations are in column B.

'WorkbookB.xls|Sheet1' has a rather large list of transactions which
get assigned an ID in column A by a macro we already have in place. The
names are in column C. The locations are in column D

However, Workbook B does not account for any of the 'flagged' items in
workbook A
However, I need this new macro to take the data from column A in the
first workbook, and run it through Workbook B (column B). If it were to
find a match, it should change column A to another ID value (lets say
5000).

For simplicity, I'm just looking for name matching, I'm sure I could
add in location matching once the foundation is in place.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
