Excel sheet doubts in vbscripting

I am creating an excel file as shown below strFileName = "c:\test.xls"

         Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
         objExcel.Visible = True

         Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Add()
         objWorkbook.SaveAs(strFileName)

         objExcel.Quit

Now after some data manipulation i populate some values into the excel sheet manually in sheet1 and sheet2 of the same excel sheet. I would be glad if anyone could tel me how to compare two values in two different sheets of the same excelk sheet For eg: sheet1 has

             **Executables**             **checkbox**
                E1                             yes
                E2                             No
                E3                             yes

and sheet2 has Executables Number of parameters input1 Input 2 E1
Send 2 4 {ENTER} Put 2 Input.xls {ENTER} Send 2 4 {ENTER} {ENTER}
Now i want my vbscript shud search in sheet 1 for each yes and then come here and search in sheet2.How would i do a comparitive search on sheet1 and sheet2 in the same excel sheet files

        Thanks

What about using two sheet objects to compare the values
This will compare each cell in sheet1 to the same cell in sheet2.

Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Test.xls")
Set objSheet1 = objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Set objSheet2 = objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(2)

For i = 1 To objSheet1.UsedRange.Columns.Count
    For j = 1 To objSheet1.UsedRange.Rows.Count
        if (objSheet1.Cells(j, i).Value = objSheet2.Cells(j,i).Value) Then
            'Equal do something
        else
            'Not Equal do something
        End IF
    Next
Next

objExcel.Quit
Set objSheet2 = Nothing
Set objSheet1 = Nothing
Set objWorkbook = Nothing
Set objExcel = Nothing

Does your data need to be stored in form elements, or can you just use the spreadsheet functions? A simple VLookup formula will compare two sheets, but can only search data contained in cells.

     SHEET 1
  Boy     Age
1 Joe     13
2 Jimmy   12
3 Jack    27

In the 2nd sheet, use the following formula:

 =if(vlookup(a1,'[Sheet 1.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$2,2,false)=a2, "Same", "Different")

     SHEET 2
  Boy     Age   Formula
1 Joe     14    Different
2 Jimmy   12    Same
3 Jack    27.5  Different
