Thanks for the responses, I guess I should have made the post as a comment.
The VBA help instructions imply that you can use the syntax that I originally
posted, although I had not use that method before. When I could not get it
to work, I thought maybe there was a glitch in the software. Then I realized
that it was just another poorly written remark in the VBA help files. That's
why I did the second posting.

Thanks again for caring. JLG

It's counterintuitive, but you have to remove them individually:

Sub brdrs()
With Range("C3:G8")
.BorderAround Weight:=xlThick, ColorIndex:=xlColorIndexAutomatic
MsgBox "Check Border"
.Borders(xlEdgeLeft).LineStyle = xlNone
.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlNone
.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = xlNone
.Borders(xlEdgeRight).LineStyle = xlNone
End With
End Sub
