Default Function to Check Borders

It worked when I put it in a new wb, but not when it's in my personal.xls wb.

Dave's function worked fine for me. I copied his code and pasted it in my
standard code module, then I put a thin solid border on a cell in cell A4.
Then in a cell in another column, I typed "ThinBottomBorder(a4)" without the
quote marks, pressed enter and a 1 appeared in that cell. Maybe, if you
explained how you tried his code the problem could be cleared up.

No go. Did as instructed and getting same error.

Put the entire code that I posted in its own module--Insert|Module--don't put it
in a worksheet module and don't put it under the ThisWorkbook module.

Do I need to put in "Option Explicit"?

You can use a UDF like:
Option Explicit
Function ThinBottomBorder(rng As Range) As Long
If rng.Cells(1).Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlThin Then
ThinBottomBorder = 1
Else
ThinBottomBorder = 0
End If
End Function


Then put this in M15:
=thinbottomborder(a14)

I want to create a function that will check a cell for a bottom border and
return a 1 if True or 0 if False.

My function will be in cell M15, checking cell A14 for the border.

I have the following, which is returning a #NAME? error:

If Range.Select.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlThin _
Then ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "1" Else ActiveCell.FomulaR1C1 = "0"

Thank you in advance for your help
