Border VBA
 

When I recorded this part of my macro I noticed that all
the option for the Left,Right,Top and Bottom edges of the
cells are the same. Is there a way to combine all these
into one selection to eliminate the repeatitive code.

Range("DCard1:Dcard1a").Select
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlMedium
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlMedium
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlMedium
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlMedium
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle =
xlNone

Thanks

Hi Pete,

Try this:

Range("DCard1:Dcard1a").BorderAround

Hi Pete,

I remember having the same problem and this sorted it.

Sub Test

Range("DCard1:Dcard1a").Borders.Linestyle = xlContinuous

End Sub

This means that you don't even have to select the range prior t
applying borders.

Rob,

I found that when I tried your code of:

Range("DCard1:DCard1a").BorderAround

it didn't do anything to the range and even after adding

(xlContinuous)

to the end of the line it only put a border around the whole selectio
rather than round each cell in the selection.

Am I missing something?

Regards

Seamu

Yep, I screwed up. The LineStyle argument is required.

The code in the original post was only surounding the entire range with
a border. If you want every cell within the range to have a border you have
to add two more lines:

With Range("DCard1:DCard1a")
.BorderAround xlContinuous
.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle = xlContinuous
End With
