What do i use to make a cell ('sheet1'!A3) link with ('sheet3'!B4)?

Basically i want what ever gets entered into sheet 1 cell A3 to be
autimatically entered in Sheet 3 cell B4. Even better would be if i change
something in either cell it will change the other with the same information.

Hi Jon,

In Sheet3, cell B4:

=Sheet1!A3

To make it work both ways is difficult and not recommended

This Formula seems to work with numbers, but not with Words. I have a master
sheet with basic information on it, then i have individual sheets with
detailed info for each item. I want the basic info on the first sheet to be
automatically entered into each individual sheet.

Maybe =sheet1!A3 should work for all it, but due to my formatting
differently in each sheet it doesn't? Any Ideas?

I would respectfully disagree with that statement. It isn't particularly
difficult, and I wouldn't recommend against it, as long as you code
carefully. The following code in ThisWorkbook will update A1:A10 on Sheet1
and Sheet2 in either direction.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

Const SHEET_ONE_NAME = "Sheet1" '<<< CHANGE
Const SHEET_TWO_NAME = "Sheet2" '<<< CHANGE
Const SHEET_RANGE_ADDRESS = "A1:A10" '<<< CHANGE

If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then
Exit Sub
End If
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Application.Intersect(Sh.Range(SHEET_RANGE_ADDRESS ), Target) _
Is Nothing Then
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If StrComp(Sh.Name, SHEET_ONE_NAME, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
.Item(SHEET_TWO_NAME).Range(Target.Address) = Target.FormulaArray
ElseIf StrComp(Sh.Name, SHEET_TWO_NAME, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
.Item(SHEET_ONE_NAME).Range(Target.Address) = Target.FormulaArray
End If
End With
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub
