    Problem with cells color VB

    Hi,
    I have a table with changing length of the rows and columns and sums at the end of each row/table/diagonal. I want to put some color to the table, but I get error 438 - Object doesn't support this property or method. Here is the code I have:
    Code:
    Sub ColorSet()
    
    Dim cLL As Range, Rg As Range
      Application.ScreenUpdating = False
     For Each cLL In Range("A1:P10")
      If IsEmpty(cLL) Then
       With cLL.Interior
       .ColorIndex = 0
       .Pattern = xlSolid
       End With
      Else
      With cLL.Interior
      .ColorIndex = 3
      .Pattern = xlSolid
      .LineStyle = xlContinuous
      End With
       End If
     Next cLL
     Application.ScreenUpdating = True
       
       End Sub
    Could you help me as I can't figure out what the problem is...

    Re: Problem with cells color VB

    Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products. There are two possible workarounds for this problem.

    - Access the form directly rather than by a variable containing the form.

    OR

    - Create property procedures in the form's code to provide access to the properties of the controls on the form.

    Re: Problem with cells color VB

    Which version of VB are you using... I have run into all kinds of errors in VB.net 2008. One big problem was the way it colors things instead of putting

    x
    .background.color.RED
    . some other property
    . some other property

    i had to type the item lets say
    x.background.color.RED
    x.some other property
    x. some other property

    Re: Problem with cells color VB

    The version is Microsoft Visual Basic 6.5
    So do I understand right that you mean putting it this way?
    Code:
    Sub ColorSet()
    Dim cLL As Range, Rg As Range
    'Set Rg = Range("A1:P10")
      Application.ScreenUpdating = False
     For Each cLL In Range("A1:P10")
      If IsEmpty(cLL) Then
       cLL.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
       cLL.Interior.Pattern = xlSolid
      Else
       cLL.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
      cLL.Interior.Pattern = xlSolid
      cLL.Interior.LineStyle = xlContinuous
       End If
     Next cLL
     Application.ScreenUpdating = True
       
       End Sub
    If yes - it gives me the same mistake...
