Mike, Joel, I used Mike's code for the end of the ranges and I changed the
border to read "xlInsideHorizontal" as you suggested Joel but I now get an
error "Unable to set the linestyle of the Border Class".
The linestyle is set to xlContinuous
The .Weight is set to xlthin and
the .ColorIndex is set to xlAutomatic.

Do i need to change these?

Maybe this will help get what you want:

Sub test()
Dim LRow As Long

'last row on sheet in column V
LRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "V").End(xlUp).Row

'last row of contiguous data in column V
'starting with cell V2
LRow = Range("V2").End(xlDown).Row
End Sub

Hi all, I have a macro which deletes rows in a report with multiple
borders
where it deletes blank rows to compact the print area. Unfortunately one
of
the cells loses its bottom border when the row above is deleted.

The cell is the last cell in the range V2:V20 and there is a similar range
below it in row V. The number of rows in the range after deletion is
dynamic
so I cannot use an absolute reference. I have added the code I have tried
below but have run out of ideas.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sub filterrows1()
'Dim myrange As Range

Cells.Select

With Selection
Rows("2:200").Select
.AutoFilter Field:=30, Criteria1:="1"

Selection.EntireRow.Delete Shift:=xlUp
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
' Set myrange = Range("V2:V20")
' myrange.Lastrow.Select
Range(Cells(firstrow, firstcolumn), Cells(Lastrow, lastcolumn)).Select
' LastRow = .Cells(Range("V2:V20").End(xlUp))

With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Borders(xlBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With

Thanks

Davie
