the background color is determined by the windows property (or as you call it
the monitor property). Any workbook that is opened should have the same
background color unless somebody has done something like

Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
(in other words, they didn't change the background color, they changed the
cell color for all the cells)

in which case, that is how you would reverse it


Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

Hi:
How might I access a worksheet's background color in VBA? I know it is
set by the monitor properties. I have a whole group of workbooks to
fix, made by someone who likes lime green for their monitor color.
Cheers,
