Default Vlookup using concatenated column indexes

I'm using Excel 2003 and trying to write a vlookup formula in Sheet 1 to
lookup an array in Sheet 2: Column A (text), Column B (text), Column C
(number) and Column D (number). The text in Columns A and B appear in either
column but never both on the same row. Like wise for Columns C and D. The
array data is a dump from another program and for some reason cannot dump the
data into the one column. To combat this, I am trying to concatenate Columns
A and B and put the text into Column E. I am then trying to concatenate
Columns C and D and put the value into Column F. I then try to do a vlookup
using columns E and F as the array but the vlookup does not see the
concatenated text string.

I have searched the discussion group page for over an hour now and still
can't find anything. Can anyone help please?
