Default Changing Tab Color With VBA

Hi Minitman,

What version of Excel are you using this code with?

What happens if you change the colorindex value (to,say,6)?

Hey Norman,

Thanks for the quick reply

Here is the macro with your code snippet:

Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveSheet.Next.Select
Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex = 53
Range("B2").Select

It does not change the tab. What am I doing wrong?

Greetings,

I am running a macro to copy the formats of one sheet to the next
sheet. One of the formats that I need to copy is the tab color. I
have the macro recorders code but it is for a specific sheet

Sheets("Jun-94").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Jun-94").Tab.ColorIndex = 53

Anyone have an idea as to how to charge it for the current sheet?

As always TIA
