Well I just tried recording a macro while I changed the width and this is
what I got:

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).ErrorBars.Select
With Selection.Border
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 57
.Weight = xlThick
End With
Selection.EndStyle = xlCap

If you look up the Weight property in the help text you will see that it has
only these 4 possible values:
xlHairline
xlThin
xlMedium
xlThick

You are right. its the y- error bars. how can i set the width of the
drop line freely, for example, 6 pt, 10 pt or higher ?

Probably the "Y Error Bars" tab in the "Format Data Series" dialog box.
