Default HELP! Number length macro

Hi,

I need a macro that will take the input from cell A1 (numbers) and will keep
dropping a digit until it finds a match on another spreadsheet (assume its
all in column A:A). So, I need it to do the following
Cell A1 "12345"
A2 "1234"
A3 "123"
A4 "12" and it needs to stop at 2 digits.

The numbers in cells A2-A4 are checked in Sheet2 and if there is a match
then I need a message box saying "Found", or something.

How can I do this?
Thanks
Jas
