Default Grab matching data and populate?

Sorry for the silly subject line there, wasn't sure how to phrase what I
need.

I have an XLS with multiple worksheets. Here's what I need to do:

In sheet1, I have column D populated with asset serial numbers (alphanumeric
values, like HFK6X01 for example), then in sheet2, I have 10,000+ rows of
data. In sheet2, there is also a column (column A) full of serial numbers
like the one mentioned, but there are also columns that have additional
information about the asset, like when we bought it, how much it cost,
etc...

I want to search sheet2 for matches of the values in sheet1 column D, and
when a match is found in sheet2, I want to grab the correlating data for
that matched value ( like when we bought it, how much it cost, as mentioned
above). I'm not sure if that makes sense, so let me draw it out in simple
fashion:

sheet1 - column D sheet2 column A

HRE785 HFK6X01 3,402.47
11/23/02
HFK6X01 ZGKY784
F454TG9 8MKO930
(on and on)

So, the formula in sheet1 would find the match in sheet2 in cell A1, and so
therefore grab the values in B1 and C1 and put them next to the match in
sheet1.

I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance, this NG is great.

Craig
