With Forms("Order Entry").Controls("Zip Code") .BorderStyle = 3 ' Short dashed border. 
  
    MsgBox "BorderStyle = " & .BorderStyle & vbCrLf & _ 
        "OldBorderStyle = " & .OldBorderStyle  ' Prints 3, 1. 
 
    .BorderStyle = 2 ' Dashed border. 
  
    MsgBox "BorderStyle = " & .BorderStyle & vbCrLf & _ 
        "OldBorderStyle = " & .OldBorderStyle  ' Prints 2, 1 
  
    .BorderStyle = .OldBorderStyle ' Solid (default) border. 
         
    MsgBox "BorderStyle = " & .BorderStyle & vbCrLf & _ 
        "OldBorderStyle = " & .OldBorderStyle  ' Prints 1, 1
