Default Find string/date in array to get value of nearby cell

It's giving me a Run-time error '13' Type Mismatch on the lngRow line no
matter what I try.

Hi Jason

The below macro will return the entry 5 rows down from the date entry
06-Aug-2009 in Column A. Hope the date entry is in excel date format. Try and
feedback

Sub Macro()

Dim dtTemp As Date, lngRow As Long
dtTemp = DateValue("06-Aug-2009")
lngRow = WorksheetFunction.Match(dtTemp, Range("A:A").Value, 0)
MsgBox Range("A" & lngRow + 5)

End Sub

I have an array that contains all sorts of text in column A.
I would like to know how I can search for certain date (example "6-Aug") and
then get the value of the cell that is 5 rows below that date?

The date is a web query where the only pattern I can find is the data I need
for each date is 5 rows below the corresponding date.

Thanks!
