Default FIND type mismatch error, but don't see it

Hi....

I'm attempting to do a backwards search, but I keep getting a mismatch
error on the Find function and don't know why.

Range("AH5").Value = Range("H3").Value
lowcagr = Range("AH5").Value
LR3 = Range("V616").Find(What:=lowcagr, after:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows,
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase _
:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Row


The formula in H3 is =MIN(V$15:INDIRECT(AE$25)) and it's value shows up
as:
-2.62130736985065E-02. The cell is formatted as a percentage with
2 decimals.

The variable lowcagr is defined as double and it's value shows up as
-2.62130736985065E-02
LR3 is defined as double.

The values in column V were calculated by :
ActiveCell.Value = ((tempprice / Fromprice) ^ (1 / nyears)) - 1
where tempprice, Fromprice, and nyears are all defined as double.

The column V is formatted as number with 4 decimals.

Ultimately, I'm trying to find which row in column V matches the value
in H3. The number of rows in column V changes each time the
spreadsheet is run, thereby necessitating the indirect in H3.

THanks for any help.
Kathy

PS Sorry about the formatting...I can't find any code formats to insert.
