The BorderColor Property does not change the color of an object's border color unless other properties of the object are set to specific values. The properties that must be set before the BorderColor Property becomes effective differ for each object.

RESOLUTION

Set the appropriate other properties for the object to a setting that will allow the BorderColor Property to be effective.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
