VB6 and Excel question
Hello,
I'm using VB6 and Excel 2007. I have a program that creates a report then opens it in an Excel spreadsheet. I have done a lot of formatting but cannot figure out how to get it to do lines (ie: hairline). I tried the following code but it doesn't work: xlWS.Columns("A:K").Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Weight = xlHairline xlWS.Columns("A:K").Borders(xlEdgeTop).Weight = xlHairline xlWS.Columns("A:K").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlHairline xlWS.Columns("A:K").Borders(xlEdgeRight).Weight = xlHairline xlWS.Columns("A:K").Borders(xlInsideVertical).Weig ht = xlHairline xlWS.Columns("A:K").Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).We ight = xlHairline Any ideas? Thank you, Robert |

VB6 and Excel question
Do you have a reference to excel 2007 in your VB project?
If no, then it won't know what those constants are--xledgeleft, xledgetop, ... and xlhairline. You can replace them with their numeric constants. Open excel (I use xl2003, so you'll want to do the same to verify the numbers): Open the VBE hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window type: ?xledgeleft and hit enter I see 7 in xl2003. I see 1 with: ?xlhairline So that first line of code would look like: xlWS.Columns("A:K").Borders(7).Weight = 1 You'll want to check all those constants.

Thank you, Robert -- Dave Peterson Thank you Dave!!! I've been trying to do this for several weeks! By the way, the numeric constants appear to be the same. Robert |

VB6 and Excel question
I would expect the constants to remain, er, constant. But there are some
differences between versions. And it's better to verify than to guess. Robert wrote: On Dec 3, 12:32 pm, Dave Peterson wrote: Do you have a reference to excel 2007 in your VB project?
