    What is it that you want to compare? (for example) Do you just want something to say "these files are exactly the same" or "these files are different"?

    Lets say I wanted to compare two files, File A has company name and address with a unique Identifer, file B has company name, address and contact details.

    I want to do a lookup and populate file be with the Unique identifer from file A.

    The problem that I have is taht if the comapny name is slightly differant or address lets say is slightly differant then that is where I have my problems.

    I am looking for S/W that can do 80%, 90% searches

    I hope I am making sense

    EDIT: No, wait sorry. I think the answer was in the title. And should've really read the article first before posting.
