Here's my mock data (there should be spaces between Jones and 1/5/05, David and 3/5/06, etc..):

Worksheet A:
Column A Column B
Jones 1/5/05
David 3/5/06
Lewis 2/3/03
Smith 12/6/06

Worksheet B:
Column A Column B
Jeffries
Jones
Smith
Steingold

What I need is a formula that will write in Column B of Worksheet B the
dates of any matching names (between Column A of Worksheet A and Column A of Worksheet B). So, for this example, the product of the formula would be that Column B (of Worksheet B) shows the dates for Jones + Smith, and would show nothing (meaning, a blank field) for the other names.

Thanks for any help!
