suggestion or comments needed

Hi
I have a marco which need to do the find event for 2 set of columns for each row.

Ex: rows colA colB colC colD colE colF
1 123 abc 111 222 333 444
2 234 der 000 123 abc 222

the result I am looking for
colA=colD
and
colB=colE

the macro will search something has 123 in colD and abc in colE first. The 234 in colD and der in colE.

I did use the find method
set testfind = .columns("D").find(what:=123)

how can I look for both D and E at same time?
Any suggestion, comments, will be real appriciated.
Thank you in advance

two ideas


'here are two ideas for you
'if found the row is highlighted
Sub FindIt()

Dim NumA, NumB, NumD, NumE

Range("A1").Select

Do While Selection <> ""
NumA = Selection
NumB = Selection.Offset(0, 1)
NumD = Selection.Offset(0, 3)
NumE = Selection.Offset(0, 4)

If NumA = NumD And NumB = NumE Then
Selection.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
Else
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Loop

Range("A1").Select

End Sub


or

the following will return TRUE or FALSE, just put
it in the next blank column

=AND(A1=D1,B1=E1)
