hi all, I have file names in column A and I want macro which should
match these file names with the files in folder "C:\Document" and if
there is any file name which don’t match then macro should highligt
that cell.

This should work if you have your files in the sheet in column A, starting
in row 1.
Just alter this line of code:
arr1 = Range(Cells(1), Cells(52, 1))
And of course the search parameters.


Sub FindNonMatching()

Dim i As Long
Dim arr1
Dim arr2
Dim lFileCount As Long
Dim lDirCount As Long
Dim coll As Collection

Set coll = New Collection

'list of files in the sheet
arr1 = Range(Cells(1), Cells(52, 1))

'files from the folder
arr2 = FindFiles("C:\Test\", _
"*.xls", _
False, _
lFileCount, _
lDirCount)

'files found in folder to collection
For i = 1 To UBound(arr2)
coll.Add i, arr2(i)
Next i

'find the non-matching files and mark the cells
On Error Resume Next
For i = 1 To UBound(arr1)
coll.Add i, arr1(i, 1)
If Err.Number = 0 Then
Cells(i, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 20
Else
Err.Clear
End If
Next i

End Sub


Function FindFiles(strPath As String, _
strSearch As String, _
Optional bSubFolders As Boolean, _
