Compare 2 sheets

[Guest]

I work for a pharmacy and I have 2 spreadsheets in a workbook. One is a list
of all of the drugs we have in stock, sheet1. The other, sheet 2, is a list
of drugs that we have to do a certain thing with. I need to compare the 2 and
pull out every drug that is on sheet 1 AND sheet 2. What would be the easiest
way to accomplish this? I use Excel 2000. I know how to use macros, and I
know a little VB, but not enough to write something up from scratch.

Thanks,

Personally, I would use a VLOOKUP, looking up the LONGEST list against the
SHORTEST list.....something like
=VLOOKUP(A1ofLongList,EntireShortList,1,false)....but you are at the mercy of
spelling errors, etc.
