Question : VBA Set Cell/Range Properties

I would like to be able to dynamically set the properties for a cell range. I created a function to act somewhat like a wrapper so that I can enter data dynamically. Can the data in the WITH block be input dynamically?

If it is possible to make this happen, if so what is the best method to do this?

Thanks

Answer : VBA Set Cell/Range Properties

Interesting question! :)
Try the code below - you pass the additional objects and properties as strings at the end - for example:
setcellproperties("sheet1", "A1", "A2", "", "Font.Bold", True, "Font.Italic", True)
