Help with VBA for background color in selected cells.

[onarollcanada]

Hello,
I am using the code posted below to remove the center border from an already selected group of cells. It works perfectly, but it then also removes the white background color in the selected cells. I have tried several different codes that I found online (ie cell.interior.color =, .Interior.ColorIndex =) to add to my current code with no luck. I can't define any specific area or range since the groupings can appear anywhere on my worksheet. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With

Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle = xlNone


End Sub

There is nothing in that code that modifies the background colour of the selected cells, and it certainly does not remove the white background that was in my test cells before running your code.

BTW, I think this shorter macro should do what yours does with the borders.

Sub Fix_Borders()
  With Selection
    .Borders.LineStyle = xlNone
    .BorderAround xlContinuous
  End With
End Sub

Thanks for your reply Peter. Your code also removes the white background on my system. I appreciate your time creating new shorter code for me. Thanks.

Your code also removes the white background on my system.

There is nothing in the code that relates to background colour. There must be something else going on if it is disappearing.

What is your "system"? What Excel version? What operating system?

Can you upload a sample dummy file that has the borders and white background to a site (eg DropBox, Box, OneDrive) that we can download from to see what is happening?
