Hi Everyone,
I have recorded this vba with the macro recorder but it seams a little long, does anyone know how i could cut it down,
I want to use it as the template for all my conditional formatting vba that I'm going to need so having something easy to edit and that is written more compactly would be a huge help,

thanks

Tony
here's my code

VBA Code:
Sub LegalCF_for_Row38()

    Range("E38:H38").Select
 
  
    Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
    Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
        "=IF($E$38=""Select Hospital Records"",TRUE)"
    Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
        .Color = -16776961
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Borders(xlLeft)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Color = -16776961
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Borders(xlRight)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Color = -16776961
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Borders(xlTop)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Color = -16776961
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Borders(xlBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Color = -16776961
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
        .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent2
        .TintAndShade = 0.799981688894314
    End With
    Selection.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False
End Sub
