How do you use an IF function in Excel to compare separate date and time columns with other date and time columns?

It depends on what you want to do. If it was a case of comparing the time in column A to see if it is later than the corresponding one in column B, you could have a formula like this, which would be copied down in another colum:

=IF(A2>B2, "First time is later", "Second time is later")

It is important to note that because of the way dates and times are actually stored in a number format counting from the start of 1900, sometimes they don't always work out as you expect them. Because of this, you need to test your formulas with dates, and particularly with times, very carefully.

I have a Ton of information in excel 2000 and want to link it to another excel file how can you do this?

That depends on what way you want to link it. You can put a hyperlink into a spreadsheet, linking it to another file, which is simple to do. There are a few ways of doing this.

First type in the text that you want to act as the linking text, in other words the text that you want to be able to click on to go to your linked location. Put the cursor on that cell. Now, you can do any of 3 things.

Click on the Hyperlink icon, (the one with a globe and a chain link in front of it) in the standard toolbar

or

Go to the Insert menu and click on Hyperlink

or

Press and hold the CTRL key and press K.

Whichever you do, now a dialog box will appear. Near the top you will see a text box with your selected text in it. Below that is an empty text box where you can type in the address you want to go to. That can be a website, a file or a location in your spreadsheet. To link to a file, hit the browse button and find your file. When you have chosen what you want, just click OK and it will be done for you.

If it is a case of wanting to link the actual data to the file, first open the file with the data in it and then the other file. Select the data you want to link in the first one and copy it. Then go to where you want it in the other file. Go to the Edit menu and click Paste Special. On the dialog box that opens click Paste Link. The data will be put into the new file. Save and close both files. Any time data is now changed in the first file, when you open the second one, the data there will be automatically updated.
