Problem with Match

Column A contains a list of dates, starting at row 21. I don't know without looking how many there will be, but it won't be more than a few hundred.

lRow = WorksheetFunction.Match(dDate, .Range("A21:A1000"), 0)

is supposed to give me the row of dDate if it exists in the column or an error if it isn't there, but it's setting lRow to 0

Can anyone tell me what's going on and how to fix it, please? If not it's back to a Do ... Loop, and Match is so much quicker.

Thanks in advance
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
I suspect that Excel stores dates as numbers but the data type of dDate (assuming Hungarian notation) is date. Try wrapping dDate in a CLng:

Code:
lRow = WorksheetFunction.Match(CLng(dDate), .Range("A21:A1000"), 0)
