Is there a way to check wether an active cell is bordered?

If ActiveCell is bordered Then
--- action ---
End If

Thank you very much in advance

If ActiveCell.Borders.LineStyle 0 Then

Mike & jobra,

Some of the Linestyle's return less that zero, eg xlDash (-4115 ), xlDouble
(-4119), and others.

Sub test()
Dim s As String
Dim v As Variant
v = ActiveCell.Borders.LineStyle
If IsNull(v) Then
'less than 4 borders and/or mixed styles
s = "mixed borders"
ElseIf v = xlLineStyleNone Then
s = "no borders"
Else
s = "got 4 same style borders"
End If
MsgBox s
End Sub

Regards,
Peter T

Hi,

how about something like this:

Function HasBorder(Cell As Range) As Boolean
Dim i As Variant
For Each i In Array(xlDiagonalDown, xlDiagonalUp, _
xlEdgeLeft, xlEdgeTop, xlEdgeBottom, xlEdgeRight)
If Cell(1).Borders(i).LineStyle < xlLineStyleNone Then
HasBorder = True
Exit For
End If
Next
End Function

Sub Test()
If HasBorder(ActiveCell) Then

End If
End Sub

this also detects borders of adjacent cells. if you don't want them,
use xlLeft, xlTop, xlBottom and xlRight instead of xlEdge***.
(even if a cell has no borders, adjacent cells may display borders)

this doesn't detect borders displayed by a conditional formatting.
perhaps there is no easy way to detect them without evaluating
conditions.
