I'm new, but have a question!

[stace50]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post! I have limited experiance with Excel but i'm here to learn, who knows I might even be able to help someone!

I've got a bit of a problem that I need solved, I wonder if anyone can help?

I want to be able to cross reference a spreadheet. It contains two lots of names, surname and first name. I want to be able to highlight the duplicates (keep them), not remove them or maybe even have them on a separate sheet! Is this possible? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

This is how the sheet is set out:

<o><TABLE style="WIDTH: 290pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=386><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 69pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3364" width=92><COL style="WIDTH: 60pt;

By the way, The first surname collum starts at A1 the second starts at E1

Any help on this would be fantastic!

I have an idea but I think it's not the best to do so.

logic:

dim an array 'set the length to the largest number of possible records
add the first "surname firstname" to the array
for each surname and first name except the first one
         for each record in the array
                if (the new record and this record in the array are the same) then
                       highlight this record
                end if
         next record
         store this new record in an array
next surname and first name
