Is there a relatively simple way to autopopulate a column on a second tab based on the corresponding values in multiple columns on another tab?

I'm using Excel 2010 and Windows 7

Specifically:
Tab One, column B has a bunch of text options chosen from a drop-down, whose options exist in Tab Two, column A. I would like the values from Tab One, Column D to cross-populate to column C on Tab Two, when the corresponding text matches.

Tab One:
Column B Column D
Apple red
Banana yellow
Coconut brown

Tab Two:
Column A Column C
Apple I want this to read red automatically
Coconut I want this to read brown
Banana I want this to read yellow


I anticipate this might not be that simple a fix but if anyone has any ideas.



Thanks,
Allison

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
