Default Function to Check Borders

Changing the format of a cell won't cause excel to recalculate. You can tell
excel to recalculate the UDF the next time it recalculates, but that means you
could be one calculation behind.

Option Explicit
Function ThinBottomBorder(rng As Range) As Long
Application.Volatile
With rng.Cells(1).Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
If .Weight = xlThin _
And .LineStyle < xlNone Then
ThinBottomBorder = 1
Else
ThinBottomBorder = 0
End If
End With
End Function

This also checks to see if the linestyle is actually used (different from
xlNone).

=personal.xls!thinbottomborder(a1)

I have a different issue now, it is returning a 1 in cells that do not have a
bottom border as well as the one that does.

Don't you need something like ='Personal.xls'!Module28.MacroName??? If
you're trying to use a UDF from your Personal macro workbook in a different
workbook, you need to have the entire reference to that macro or you get the
#NAME error, which is telling you it doesn't know what "MacroName" is.

HTH,
