Userforms: combobox.value type
 

I have a combobox on a userform where the user selects a date (from today back 28 days). I assign values to the list as follows (Module2.CurrentDate is dim'd as a Date):
For i = 0 To 27
Dim sngDateBox As Date
sngDateBox = Date
arrDate(i) = sngDateBox - i
Next i
cmbEntryDate.List = arrDate
cmbEntryDate.Value = Module2.CurrentDate
cmbEntryDate.Value = Format(cmbEntryDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")

My problem is that cmbEntryDate.Value is a string. I want to find the date selected in the box on a worksheet using the following:

Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim DateRow As Single
Dim DateRange As Range
Dim myDate As Date
myDate = cmbEntryDate.Value
Set wks = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(Module2.CurrentStore)
Set DateRange = wks.Range("A:A")
DateRow = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(myDate, DateRange, 0)

But here I get error 1004 'Unable to get the Match property of the WorksheetFunction class'
If I dim myDate as a single I get a type mismatch error.
All I need is the row # of the date selected in the box. What am I doing wrong?

TIA
