Otto,

I'm assuming you want to create a single border around a range of cells,
not setting the borders for each individual cell in the range. Try

Range("C3:D20").BorderAround Weight:=xlMedium

You could modify this to

Selection.BorderAround Weight:=xlMedium
' or
ActiveCell.BorderAround Weight:=xlMedium

When I record a macro and place an outline border, the recorder of course
lays down a bunch of lines encompassing every facet of the border.
Is there a simple command to produce an outline border? Thanks for your
time. Otto
