Macro help needed; highlighting change in attributes in 2 sheets

[Talonspell]

Greetings!

I need some help here with a problem I have. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have the following table in Sheet 1. This is the master list. The Name is the unique identifier.

Name	Mood
John	Happy
Betty	Sad
James	Angry
Peter	Angry
Carl	Sad

<tbody>
</tbody>

I have another table in Sheet 2. It is essentially the same thing, except that the names are now in a random order, and the moods of some of the people have changed.

Name	Mood
Betty	Angry
Peter	Happy
John	Happy
Carl	Sad
James	Sad

<tbody>
</tbody>

So basically, what I need help with, is a macro that would look at the list of people and their moods in Sheet 2, compare it with the list in Sheet 1, and if there is a change in moods, that particular person in Sheet 1 will be highlighted. That is the first macro I need help with.

The second macro is I need help with is similar to the one above, except that rather than just highlighting the person with the change in mood, I need it to take the mood change in Sheet 2, and update it accordingly to the corresponding person in Sheet 1.

Thanks in advance!


P.S I am using Excel 2010.
