Ok, apparently my previous post was too involved so let's try this.

I want to perform a task using an IF test.
The most common element in the workbook that I can think of to test for is
the existence of a border around a group of cells.

So far, my tests seem to not be fully working, and I can't see why.

Sub borderloopA()
Dim rcell, rcell1, rcell2 As Range
Dim lx As Integer

Set rcell = Selection
Set rcell1 = Selection
Set rcell2 = Selection
'Application.DisplayAlerts = False

For Each rcell In Selection
Do
For Each rcell1 In Selection
Do
'if borderTOP = true then
If rcell1.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlSolid Then 'Or
xlDouble
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
'rcell.Select
'if border-TOP/BOTTOM = false then
If ActiveCell.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle < xlSolid Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
'rcell1.Select
'if border-TOP/BOTTOM = false then
If ActiveCell.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle <
xlSolid Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
'rcell1.Select
'if borderBottom = true then
For Each rcell2 In Selection
If
rcell2.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = xlSolid Then
ActiveSheet.Range(rcell1,
rcell2).Select
With Selection
.Merge
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
.HorizontalAlignment =
xlCenter
End With
Set rcell1 = Nothing
Set rcell2 = Nothing
'end if
End If
Next rcell2
'end if
End If
'end if
End If
'end if
End If
lx = lx + 1
Loop Until lx = 2
Next rcell1
Loop Until ActiveCell.Style.IncludeBorder = False
Next rcell

'Application.DisplayAlerts = True


End Sub

ok, scratch this, the border test works fine, it's something else that's not
working-- will use a new post.
