Have you tried "Track Changes"?...this will make the workbook a shared
workbook and changes will be highlighted in a different color.

Tell your co-worker to go to Tools>Track Changes>Highlight Changes...put a
check in the box that says "Track changes while editing"...now when she
sends you the file, her changes will be highlighted and you can choose to
accept or reject those changes

If you've never used Track Changes before, try searching Excel's Help
files for "track changes" and come back to us if you have any specific
questions on how to turn it on and off and how it works, etc.

I know next to almost nothing about excel so this isn't making sense for
me
Do I create another column with the current date for all items and ? what
is a date update field?

I'll refresh .....work sends me an excell spreadsheet with information on
area, address, rent amount, date available, leased etc
Not every property has changes daily....some will only have a rental
change
others will be leased and others yete will have a new availability date
I need the items that my co worker changes ie: if she ups or lowers the
rent on a given property or something becomes leased or something becomes
available those items only need to be highlighted for me to quick view and

make updates to the website and other advertising venues. Currently she
has
to hand color each seperate item and usually forgets to color code so i'm
stuck looking through many many properties ie: going through each one and
checking it against the web page to see if any changes are needed.....if
the updated items are highlighted it would be alot less work
Can anyone help me step by step to figure out how to do this??
