VBA adding numbers to date - type mismatches

[scoha]

I have a line of code to take a cell that is populated with a date and add 760 (two years):

If Cell.Value + 730 > Range("OneMonth").Value Then
 Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 44

I keep getting Type Mismatch, presumably on account of adding a number to the date - but how can I get around this? "OneMonth" is a named cell with another date in it

You can add a number to a date, as long as it's an actual date, not text, or in a format that Excel doesn't recognize as a date.

But why not just use Conditional Formatting?
