Default Lookup and compare rows

We have a file with two worksheets
the first sheet contains data in the following order
A B C D
date order-id document quantity

the second sheet contains the data as follows:
A B C D E
F
unique-id date order-id document something quantity

sheet 1 contains 40.788 rows, sheet 2 40.799
both sheets _should_ contain the exact same number of rows, but obviously,
we're missing 11 rows in sheet 1 and we're trying to find out WHICH rows are
the ones we're looking for.
Any1 has a suggestion as to how we could do this? We tried with a vlookup,
but since every column can contain duplicates, this is nearly undoable, we
tried to concat Sheet 1!A,B,C,D & Sheet 2!B,C,D,F in order to create unique
numbers, but even then, we still have duplicates...and we're not very eager
to check row by row by hand :|
thanks in advance for any formula that would help us :)
