Default This should be easy - date lookup

Here is my spreadsheet:

---Date Range---
Conversion Date Descr1 Begin Date End Date Descr
10/25/94 ? 02/05/96 03/03/96 FY1997P1
12/12/94 ? 03/04/96 03/31/96 FY1997P2
10/17/95 ? 04/01/96 04/28/96 FY1997P3
10/31/95 ? 04/29/96 05/26/96 FY1997P4
11/14/95 ? 05/27/96 06/23/96 FY1997P5

Assume Conversion Date is column G, Descr1 = column h, Begin Date is column
j, End Date = column k, and Descr = column l.

I need to 'lookup' the conversion date within the Begin Date and End Date
range, to return the value 'Descr' in the cell under 'Descr1'

I have search the KB and can't seem to find how the 'VLOOKUP' function can
look up a range of dates...anyone's help is greatly appreciated!~
