Hi All,

I know how to clear the contents of cells in a macro,ie.
Range("A1:B50").ClearContents - however can anyone tell me what needs to be
included in a macro to clear "Borders" created around cells for a given range.

I am just getting into creating macros - so if the above is not clear,please
let me know.
Thank you

To account for diagonals revise to this.

Sub test()
With Range("A1:B50")
.Borders.LineStyle = xlNone
.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
End With
End Sub

And I just learned something new. I did not realize that my original code did
not remove the diagonals. That being said I can honestly say I have never
used the diagonals... but if I ever do... Thanks Gord

Not only doesn't it remove diagonals, it adds diagonals to cells in the range
that don't originally have them.

Set A1:B10 with cell borders and include diagonals.

Run your original macro.

Clears the outside and interior borders in A1:B10 but leaves the diagonals and
also adds them to A11:B50

Note: the diagonals are actually doubled up so if you go to FormatCellBorders
you have to click twice to clear them.

Not nice and definitely weird<g

Spookey... This one darn near fits into JWalk's XL oddities.

This has re-affirmed my desire to just never use diagonals. That being said
many moons from now I am going to break down and use them for some obscure
reason and my code will mess them up. On that day I will (vaguely) recall
this conversation with a sense of (told you so)...
