Make the control toolbox toolbar visible. click on the commandbarbutton and
then rubberband a rectangle on the worksheet.

Repeat for the second button.

Double click on the first button and paste in code like the above in the
resulting module (check that your button names correspond to the code
above. If not, rename the procedures to match the names of your two
buttons.

go back to the worksheet and take the sheet out of design mode (the top left
button on the control toolbox should look depressed. Click it so it isn't).

Now select some cells and click the button.

I know this probably sounds very simple to most people, but i am new at
this!
I would like to create 2 command buttons in a worksheet both doing the
same
thing. I would like when each button is clicked the highlighted cells to
be
filled in a particular colour. Eg button 1 fills the highlighted cells in
yellow and the second button would fill the highlighted cells in red. Can
anyone help?
