Dim crlf$



Private Sub Form_Load()
 Text1.Text = ""
 crlf$ = Chr(13) + Chr(10)
 Form1.Visible = True
 DoEvents
 
 For n = 1000 To 9999
   ns$ = LTrim(Str(n))
   p1 = Val(Mid(ns$, 1, 1)) * Val(Mid(ns$, 2, 1))
   p2 = Val(Mid(ns$, 3, 1)) * Val(Mid(ns$, 4, 1))
   If p1 = p2 Then
     s = sod(n)
     If s = p1 Then
       Text1.Text = Text1.Text & n & crlf
     End If
   End If
   
 Next
 
End Sub

Function sod(n)
  s$ = LTrim(Str(n))
  tot = 0
  For i = 1 To Len(s$)
   tot = tot + Val(Mid(s$, i, 1))
  Next
  sod = tot
End Function

finds

3636
3663
4444
6336
6363

It checks all four-digit numbers.
