Don't use the 'Set' keyword. 'Set' is used to assign an object to
an object variable declared as the appropriate type.
Change your code to

HDRDATE = Range("Q2").Value

I am trying to select the date from Q2 and place that date in
the
header.

How do i correct the statement below to make sure the date is
captured
as HDRDATE?

Dim HDRDATE As Date
Set HDRDATE.Value = ("Q2")
