Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Assaf,

Visual Basic is beyond my capabilities unfortunately.

I’m not even 100% sure you’ll be able to change the cell colour using VBA, but that is the only option if you’re using 2k3.

Regards,

Darren

Hi Assaf,

I don’t think it is possible to colour a cell in 2k3 without VBA. In 2k7 you can change background colours by right-clicking in the cell, choose font and then the background colour / pattern.

Regards,

Darren
