xlNone incorrectly valued?

[BruceD]

This seems very odd.

The following code works fine as long as the choice from
the input box is 1 (thin) or 2 (thick). If it is, xlNone
is valued properly at 2 and 4 respectively.

However,If it's 0 (none) then ib1 gets valued to -4142
and I get run time error 1004 Unable to set Weight
property of Border class.

Any help greatfully appreciated.

Sub Brdrs()
ib1 = InputBox("None (0), Thin (1), or Thick
(2): ", "INNER Border Style", 1)


If ib1 = 0 Then
ib1 = xlNone
ElseIf ib1 = 1 Then
ib1 = xlThin
ElseIf ib1 = 2 Then
ib1 = xlThick
Else
ib1 = xlThin
End If


With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = ib1
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = ib1
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
End Sub

If I am not mistaken, you apply "xlThin" to the "LineStyle" of the Border as
you have. See small demo below. To make it "None", you apply xlNone to the
LineStyle itself, not the Weight property.

With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
'etc...
End With

Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlNone
