Question

Hello All,

I am a newbie to this forum so please excuse me if I do not get this question phrased in the proper form or degree of politeness and decorum! 

Here is my question.

I have a database compiled in my office of current students in a college program for a particular semester AND a database from administration with the same information in the first 3 columns. 
I need a way to compare the two and have the like information from the Administrations database appear in the in-house database in the same row beginning adjacent to the existing row of information. 
Can that be done with formulas or do i need vba? Either way i can do it if i know where to start. 
Comparison is easy, the alignment of like data on the same row is where i am baffled.

If anyone can help with this question your assistance would be most graciously welcomed .

Ok, so you copy and pasted the last time you asked, but we'll give ya persistance.

VBA is not going to hook into a database with any ease.

With what part of the business process are you stuck?

  Not all things can be solved with a single process.  It may take several steps to get to a final product.  It is really a question of: Can you be disciplined enough to follow the process step by step every single time?  IF so; your products are bullet proof, your deadlines are landmarked, and you have cookie cut a process.

Have FUN!

Wow, yes I copied and pasted the actual question but prefaced it and ended it with the most gracious and thankful words that seem very appropriate for any forum.  Maybe I am a fool but if this is not grateful nor thankful enough for you then; I do not desire to continue as a member of your Elite Forum!  I do certainly have other options and will pursue those with vigor!  


Thanks for your "high-minded" help or should I say lack thereof!
