Pity. Thanks for your response.

Nope there is not one constant for all four sides. The constants are

xlDiagonalDown, xlDiagonalUp, xlEdgeBottom, xlEdgeLeft, xlEdgeRight,
xlEdgeTop, xlInsideHorizontal, or xlInsideVertical

Hi.

I'm creating headings dynamically in Excel and am placing a border around
each cell as it's created.
I'd like to be able to border a cell with just 1 Excel constant instead of
having to use 4 - one for each side. Since adding borders, the program has
slowed down considerably. Is there a more efficient way than the one I'm
using now?

'*** Put a border around the heading just added
wshFIC.Cells(iHeadingLine, lLastColumn).Select
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
End With

'*** Change the font for just this cell
With Selection.Font
.Name = "Arial Narrow"
.Bold = True
.Size = 9
End With
With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
.Interior.ColorIndex = 37
End With

TIA.
