Using the result of a cell's formula as an argument within a running macro? / More

[Worldman1]

Hi to AP and All,

The procedure below adds a thick border to the bottom of my varaible
array. I want to replace the fixed range "Range("C13:M14").Select"
with the
variable string returned by my formula in R4 using the same approach as
in:
"ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Range("R5").value"

I'm having a problem to get the syntax right. More help please! /
thanks again!

Range("C13:M14").Select
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThick
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
End Sub

So if I understand correctly you have a value in R4 such as A1:A10...?
Assuming that to be the case then I would go with something like this...

with Range(Range("R4").value)
.borders.lineslyle = xlNone 'This removes all borders at once
.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).Weight = xlThick
.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
end with

This all assumes that the value in R4f will be a valid address. If it is
possible that it will not be valid you need to verify that before hand. If
you need help with that then let me know.

Thanks Jim,
That's great, we both understood each other perfectly!

another similar procedure I'm struggling with -

Cell B1 contains a variable cell reference, for example "E:14"
I want to copy contents of cell $E$4 to the cell reference pointed to
in the above

Can't make it work - more help would be appreciated . . .

(where can I find a comprehensive syntax guide?)

Thanks again .
