Hello all!

So a quick run down here, I have two workbooks that need to be compared OLD.xlsx and NEW.xlsx, now the OLD will have formatting, comments, etc... The NEW is a data dump by the system that will be clear of formatting, comments, etc... Completely fresh. I need to compare the OLD to the NEW workbook, if the row contains all the same strings or data from the OLD, copy and paste that entire row overwriting it including formatting, comments, etc... to the NEW workbook. I have coded it to work some what, but it compares line by line and row by row and if there is new data in the NEW workbook, it completely messes up the process. Plus I haven't figured out how to copy and paste the data so thus it just highlights =/ Here is my code. Any help would be great!

VBA Code:
Const SHT_NAME = "Daily"

Dim pathToFile As String
Dim copyFromWorkbook As Workbook
Dim copyToWorkbook As Workbook
Dim copyFromWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim copyToWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim lastRowA As Long
Dim joinRow As String
Dim i As Long

Sub Copy_Workbook()

  With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .Filters.Add "Excel Files", "*.xlsx; *.xlsm; *.xls; *.xlsb", 1
        .Show
        
        pathToFile = .SelectedItems.Item(1)
    End With
    
    If InStr(pathToFile, ".xls") = 0 Then
        Exit Sub
    End If
    
    Set copyFromWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(pathToFile, True, True)
    Set copyFromWorksheet = copyFromWorkbook.Sheets(SHT_NAME)
    
    Set copyToWorkbook = ThisWorkbook
    Set copyToWorksheet = copyToWorkbook.Sheets(SHT_NAME)
    
    lastRowA = copyFromWorksheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    
    For i = 2 To lastRowA
        If Trim(copyFromWorksheet.Range("B" & i).Value) <> Trim(copyToWorksheet.Range("B" & i).Value) Then
            copyToWorksheet.Range("B" & i).Interior.Color = vbGreen
            Else
            copyToWorksheet.Range("B" & i).Interior.Color = vbRed
        End If
    Next i
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub
