Default Excel Date/Time problem

I have written a macro designed to change the color and
bold all values of 40 seconds and above in a column. The
column looks like this:

0:00:02
0:00:56
0:00:03
etc.

For a number of reasons, I cannot use conditional
formatting and am attempting to do this via code.

Here is the macro:

Sub Summary1()

Dim test_name As String
Dim mynumber As Date

test_name = ActiveWorkbook.Name
mynumber = "0:00:39"

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Z:\Excel\" & test_name
& " - Sum 1 test.xls"

Columns("E:E").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
Columns("K:K").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
Columns("L:O").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft

Range("K3").Select

Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
If ActiveCell.Value mynumber Then
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 3
Selection.Font.Bold = True
End If

ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

Loop

End Sub

The macro works and changes all cells with 00:00:40 and
above. However, it also includes cells with a value of
00:00:39 for some reason. As you might guess, I tried
changing the value of the mynumber variable to 0:00:40.
When I did this, only values of 0:00:41 and higher were
changed and cells with the actual value of 0:00:40 were
ignored. I am mystefied.
