Default Cell color change on mouse over

Hi Igor,
On a web page, I'm more familiar with the tooltip (title=) as seen at the
top of my search.htm webpage than with "cheap effects".

In Excel the tool tip is called a Screen Tip and you can override
the link that would normally be shown by choosing ScreenTip in the
upper right corner of the Edit Hyperlink dialog (Ctrl+K). Not available
form the HYPERLINK Worksheet Function.

Well, it's not really important but this worksheet is going to have links to
many other pages in a workbook. So I thought it would be nice to make them
work like a hoover button on a web page.Seems like I have to give it up.
Many Thanks.

Sorry
should read API calls (Application Programming Interface). That is you
probably have to access directly the Windows API function calls, get
the mouse position from them and then (probably relatively complex)
calculate the cell position under the mouse cursor (taking screen
resultion, zoom factor, etc. into account9

So IMHO not something i would do. Maybe you can explain WHY you're
trying to do this.
