I'm trying to write a macro that will apply a bottom border to every
other cell in a range. the macro only needs to work for horizontal
ranges, and not for vertical ones.

the closest i can get is the code below, but this only applys borders
to cells in odd columns. i need it to apply borders to every other
cell in a selection, regardless if it is even or odd.

Sub BotBorderOdd()
For Each cell In Selection
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Odd(cell.Column) = cell.Column
Then
oRange = oRange & "," & cell.Address
End If
Next cell
oRange = Mid(oRange, 2, Len(oRange) - 1)
Range(oRange).Select
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
End Sub

Thanks for your help everyone!

Try this:
Sub BotBorderOdd()
Dim i as long
i = 1
For Each cell In Selection
If i mod 2 = 0 Then
With Cell.Bordes(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
End If
i = i + 1
Next cell
End Sub

Charles showed you how to do it for even columns instead of ODD.

If you want to do it relative to the selection,

Sub BotBorderOdd()
Dim lFlag As Long
lFlag = Selection(1).Column Mod 2
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.Column Mod 2 < lFlag Then
oRange = oRange & "," & cell.Address

With cell.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
End If
Next
End Sub

underlines the 2nd cell and each subsequent cell.

if you want to start with the first and each second cell from there, change
< to = in the conditional clause.
