Finds date but won't change cell

[Guest]

Can some one tell me why it won't change cell H12
It finds the date

-- Range("F5").Select
Cells.Find(What:="3/1/2006", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False).Activate
If ActiveCell = 3 / 1 / 2006 Then
Range("H12").Value = 1

Hi Esau,

just modify the activecell line ...

If ActiveCell.Value = "3 /1/2006" Then

Because Excel thinks you mean 3 divided by 1 divided by 2006
Try this instead:
If ActiveCell = DateValue("3/1/2006") Then

"3/1/2006" is text, but 3/1/2006 is 3 divided by 1 divided by 2006. Probably
not what you intended...
