I need help figuring out how to do the following.

I have 2 work books "Book1" and "Book2"
Columns A & B of Sheet1 in both workbooks contain First Names and Last Names.

I want to compare the workbooks and if the name in Book1 appears in Book2 I
want it highlighted in Book1.

Is this possible?

Try this:
Sub Compare2Shts()
For Each Cell In Worksheets("CompareSheet#1").UsedRange
If Cell.Value <> Worksheets("CompareSheet#2").Range(Cell.Address) Then
Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next

For Each Cell In Worksheets("CompareSheet#2").UsedRange
If Cell.Value <> Worksheets("CompareSheet#1").Range(Cell.Address) Then
Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next
End Sub


Sub CompareAnother2Shts()
For Each Cell In Worksheets("CompareSheet#1").Range("A1:J50")
If Cell.Value <> Worksheets("CompareSheet#2").Range(Cell.Address) Then
Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next

For Each Cell In Worksheets("CompareSheet#2").Range("A1:J50")
If Cell.Value <> Worksheets("CompareSheet#1").Range(Cell.Address) Then
Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next
End Sub
