Modified for your data. Try it

Sub highlightmatches()
Dlr = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
blr = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Cells(1, 1).Resize(blr, 3).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
For i = 1 To Dlr
ml = Len(Cells(i, "d"))
For j = 1 To blr
If Right(Cells(j, "b"), ml) = CStr(Cells(i, "d")) Then
Cells(j, "b").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
Next j
Next i
End Sub

That didn't work either. It highlighted the column from the next row
down.

Thanks for the help!

I'm not getting it to work.

Here is my data sample:
Date Number c Processing
06/14/09 EC17251 34002
07/20/09 EC17570 17251
08/07/09 EC17716
07/15/09 OR33889
07/16/09 OR33956
07/17/09 OR34002
07/22/09 OR34178

I went to the New Formatting Rule as directed but don't know
what
to enter
in the "Format values where this formula is true:" box. I want
it
to lookup
info in column D and if it is found in column B then highlight
that cell.
For example, Does a cell in Column B contain the info that is
found in any
cell in column D--otherwise written as: does 34002 (cell D2)
show
in any cell
in column B (cell B7) and if so highlight cell B7.

Sorry for the confusion. Thank you for your assistance.

I forgot to say I am using Excel 2007. Where do I find the
conditional
format that allows for multiple conditions. Also to
clarify,
I want to look
for info in cell J2 within the range of column b (b1.b200).
