Macro Removes Cell Borders
Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I was unable to get this
approach to work.

try xlnone instead of 0

MarkRow
Range(ColorCodeCell).Clear
Range(ActionCell).Clear

This is a pretty trivial issue, but it's one of those things that is just
driving me nuts. I have the following very simple macros:
**********
Dim ActionCell As String
Dim ColorCodeCell As String
Dim ColorNumber As Integer
Private Sub BuildRangeVariables()
Dim RowNumber As Integer
RowNumber = ActiveCell.Row
ActionCell = "I" & RowNumber
ColorCodeCell = "H" & RowNumber
End Sub
Private Sub MarkRow()
BuildRangeVariables
Rows(ActiveCell.Row).Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = ColorNumber
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End Sub
Sub MarkClear()
ColorNumber = 0
MarkRow
Range(ColorCodeCell).Select
ActiveCell.Clear
Range(ActionCell).Select
ActiveCell.Clear
End Sub
**********
Basically, I have a spreadsheet with a few thousand rows, and I use a
series of simple macros to mark each row by using a fill color and adding
a text values to columns H and I. The macros that add the text values
are not shown here, but the value in column H is the name of a color (so
that I can use the filter to see all the rows marked with the given
color) and the values in column I can be "Remove," "Test," or "Update"
(again, so I can filter on those values). When I have completed the
action for the given row I run the MarkClear macro, which simply removes
the fill color and clears the values in columns H and I.
While I have omitted some macros, the routines shown above are the
COMPLETE logic flow for the MarkClear routine.
It all works just fine, but for one tiny irritating flaw. When I run the
MarkClear macro it also removes the cell borders. Can anyone tell me why
that happens?
