Colour specific cell based on 2 other cell values

Hi, I've got spreadsheet with a list of clients, each client having
their own row.
I have recorded a macro which goes through each client and fills in
colour on the Q column if they have a "Yes" on either column V or F.
The clients are numbered on column A (I use the last client to
determine how far down to go). The problem I have is that my macro is
a bit too slow for my liking. Any ideas on an improvement?

Dim clients As Variant
Dim distance As Variant


Range("A2").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
distance = 0
clients = ActiveCell
Range("F3").Select
Do Until distance = clients
If ActiveCell = "Yes" Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 11).Range("A1").Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 4
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -11).Range("A1").Select
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 16).Range("A1").Select
If ActiveCell = "Yes" Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -5).Range("A1").Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 4
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -11).Range("A1").Select
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -16).Range("A1").Select
End If
End If
distance = distance + 1
Loop
End Sub

This should be quick.

sub colorif()
for i= 2 to cells(rows.count,"a").end(xlup).row
if cells(i,"v")="Yes" or cells(i,"f")="Yes" then
cells(i,"v").interior.colorindex=4
cells(i,"f").interior.colorindex=4
end if
next i
end sub

That's great, thanks for that Martin, much faster.
Once I get my head around how and what you have used there, i'm sure I
can speed up other macros
Thanks
