Delete a row based on value of 2 combo boxes (2 columns)

Good afternoon,
I am creating an excel program that tracks vacation time. My issue is if you were to cancel vacation time and I want to delete that row.

I have a combo box with an active range of names that updates as new names show up.

i have another box (I have tried a listbox and combo box) that will display the start date of all vacation times that person has put in for.

I am using this code:

Dim iLastRow As Long
Dim i As Long

iLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
For i = iLastRow To 1 Step -1
If Cells(i, "a").Value = LEAVEDELETE.SAILORpick.Value And Cells(i, "b").Value = LEAVEDELETE.LEAVE.Value Then
Rows(i).DELETE
End If
Next i

where leavedelete is my userform, sailorpick is the first combo box with names, and leave is the 2nd box with a list of start dates.

I have tried this code and it worked:
If Cells(i, "a").Value = LEAVEDELETE.SAILORpick.Value And Cells(i, "b").Value = "(manually puting in date here)" Then

for some reason, the value in the listbox/combobox is not the same value as the cell with the actual date even though they read the same and in the same format.

Any suggestions??

Thank you so much! I had to wait until weekend was over to attempt it and it worked. The moment I was reading that a date was a number, I did a face palm....I've had to utilize that before on other things and I should have known.

Oh, I didn't realize the reply button doesn't reply to just one person, but for the whole thread. First time posting an issue and cant find a delete button for my previous replies. Tinbendr, your code worked perfectly. Thank you.

I attempted this code, but I was getting a missmatch error. the previouse guy's code worked though so thank you for your time.
