Find word in column and copy cell to the right

I have two workbooks, "Jack.xls" & "Jill.xls". In workbook, Jack.xls, i have a worksheet called "Apple". In workbook, Jill.xls i have a workhseet called "Orange".

I would like a Macro to open workbook Jill.xls and search column A in worksheet "Orange" for the word "Beginner" and copy the cell to the right of the word "Beginner" and paste it in worksheet "Apple" in workbook "Jack.xls".

In the worksheet "Apple", i would like it to paste the result in C10. This will be part of a Macro.

I've searched for a while and can't figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello dariushou,

This macro will open the workbook "Jill.xls" if it is not already open and search column "A" on the worksheet "Orange" for "Beginner". If "Jill.xls" is not in the same directory as "Jack.xls", you need to add the directory path to "Jill.xls" to be able to open it. The search is not case sensitive. If it is found it will be pasted into "Jack.xls" in cell "C10" on worksheet "Apple". Place this macro in the workbook "Jack.xls". The names of the workbook, worksheets, starting search column and row, and the destination cell can all be changed. They are marked in red below.
