Is it possible for this Range object to be Set?

[AlexanderBB]

With row numbers where column "V" >= Date and column "X" <= Date
Columns V and X are custom formatted "dd mmm yyyy"
Day, month and year for Date are known and could be a date or string variable, whichever suits best.

I found this while Googling
>The Find method cannot do relational numerical comparisons. It can do exact matches, or wildcard matches. You will have to loop through each cell in the range.
To get the required result are there any suggestions for a good approach? The Worksheet has 18000 rows so looping through one at a time seems impractical.
