I am trying to simply put a border around a cell. I'm not sure if this is the right way to go about doing it, but this is the line of code I'm using:

Code:
.Cells(dcomprow, 2).borderaround _
                Linestyle:=xlcontinuous, Weight:=xlThin, colorindex = 3

I get an error in the VBA compilor with "colorindex" ... Expected: named parameter.

What must I do to correct the error? I would like to use an RGB value instead of a color index. How would that be done?
 
Hi Peter, thank you for sharing that observation. Right now I only have single cell ranges, so it works. But to recognize the true answer to the problem I had posted, I have changed the solution. Both get the job done, but post 4 does answer my original question.
