Comparing data between files

Hi,
I have two files that have lists of names, first and last in separate
columns. I would like to be able to quickly find out if there are any repeats
between the two documents. The names could be in any order, so I don't know
how to compare cells, and I'm guessing trying to create a macro to search for
the contents in each cell in the 2nd document might be a little slow. Ideas?
Thanks!
