Dates

[waynehinds]

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")

you are trying to treat HDRDATE as an object with the set statement. and you
dimmed it as a value

Dim HDRDATE As Date
HDRDATE = range("Q2")

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

Thanks for replies..

I want to now set this value to the date format "mm/dd/yy" and put in header.

It is currently printing in header but it is printing m/d/yyyy

try

HDRDATE = format(HDRDATE,"mm/dd/yy")
