BorderAround method failure

The following code fails at the BorderAround line. What am I missing?

With Range(Cells(6, 1), Cells(7, 2))
.BorderAround Weight:=xlMedium
.Borders.Item(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Borders.Item(xlInsideHorizontal).Weight = xlThin
End With

I know this is simple, but from what I read it should work.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Your code works fine for me. Would fail though if the activesheet is not a
worksheet, or if a worksheet chart is selected. Any protection?

The sheet on which I want this to happen is active and not protected.

I get a "BorderAround method of Range class failed" error.

I can use 4 lines to set the border on the edges, but I want to
understand this. I'm running xl2003 in XP, if that matters.

Thanks,
John

Got it! It was being protected by errant code. Thanks.

John

Afraid I'm out of ideas, as I said it worked for me.

If you try something else before BorderAround does it work

With Range(Cells(6, 1), Cells(7, 2))
.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
.BorderAround Weight:=xlMedium
