Default find and replace macro need help

I have four columns in excel.All numbers.

column A ---1,2,3,4,
column B ---123,351,654,896
column C --- 2,4,1,3
column D ---1,4,3,2

column C and D have the same numbers as column A but in a differen
sequence.

I want the macro to do the following
==========================
start with column C.If picks up the first number 2, searches for tha
number in Column A, find the corresponding number in column B( 351 i
this case) replaces the number 2 in column C with 351.

then it goes to the second number of column C (4 in this ) looks fo
this number in column A, finds the corresponding number in column B(89
in this case), replaces the number 4 in column C with 896

So Column A and colums B are for referring and the columns C and D ar
where the replace occurs.

Please give me a general macro so that if I have an additional columnD
I can perform replace on Column D as well.In the above example we hav
four rows, what if I have 4000 rows.

thank
