I have two Work Books open and I have filters on both WBs.. Let's say I have filters for Name, Birth Date, Address, and Phone# for both WBs. Is it possible for a macro to search WB2 each time I copy a cell from either of the filters in WB1.

Example:
I copied a name from WB1 and the macro will search the name in WB2.


I'm trying to simplify WB2 since it's a mess, hence I'm creating WB1. But I have like 300k of names to go to and I need something to help me..


Thanks in advance.

Kind ragards,

Want you are attempting is OLE. Object linking and embedding. Yes you can link the two together. Make WB1, and insert a WB2 object, but link it, do not copy and insert it. You must link so changes to WB2 will be reflected in WB1.

I hope this give you some direction!

Sorry about this.. I forgot a key information on what I want to happen..

With the given example above, in WB1 I'm missing the birthdates of the people in WB1, so I usually search WB2 with the matching name and address and get their birthdate..

Sorry again, I was a bit sleepy and kinda in a hurry..

Thanks in advance..

What did you learn about OLE? Did I forget to mention that we are volunteers, and if I were to produce this turnkey it wouldn't be free?
