Below is code for a line drawing, but it defaults to Blue.
I would like to change the color to red.
------------------------------------------------
Sub mineLeft()

Dim nStart1 As Double, nStart2 As Double
Dim nEnd1 As Double, nEnd2 As Double
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range

Set rng1 = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1)
Set rng2 = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0)
nStart1 = rng1.Left + rng1.Width
nStart2 = rng1.Top
nEnd1 = rng2.Left + rng2.Width
nEnd2 = rng2.Top

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(nStart1, nStart2, nEnd1, nEnd2).Select

End Sub
-----------------------------------------------------------

With Thanks
I tried the recorded macro to format the Line to Red.
The macro comes back empty.

Hi smandula,

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(nStart1, nStart2, nEnd1, nEnd2).Select

Change this line to
Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(nStart1, nStart2, nEnd1, nEnd2)
shp.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)

"The macro comes back empty."
Excel 2007 was released when it was "good enough"...

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(nStart1, nStart2, nEnd1, nEnd2).Line.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 10
