Default Tick box

Hi Paul,
me again.
Some bright spark in the office asked, with ref to the highlighting code you
supplied, if it was possible to adapt it to change from yellow to orange
after 3 weeks and then fom orange to red after 6 weeks. Column L is a date
field so perhaps this could be utilised?
Bit of a challenge!
Thanks
Jock

Hi
I'm with you now on the A to Z thing. You want

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel
As Boolean)
Dim myRow As Range
If Not Intersect(Target, ActiveSheet.Columns("M")) Is Nothing Then
Set myRow = Target.offset(0,-12).Resize(, 26) 'go back to "A"
With myRow
If .Interior.ColorIndex = 6 Then
.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Else
.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
End With
End If
'Cancel = True
End Sub

The .ie is Ireland. My College can't give me a fake email for
newsgroup purposes. They get a lot of spam funnily enough...
regards
Paul

Hi,
What I was referring to in 'Q1' was that I would have liked cells A to Z
highlighted in a specific row when a cell in M is double clicked. What
happens is that the count of 26 cells starts from the column stated in the
code (M) and ends at AL. I got around this by using B rather than M, so that
B to Z are highlited.
In Q2, there were no border changes done by me to the standard 'new
worksheet' default ones. There is quite a lot of code for different things
within this workbook though, so perhaps they are interfering with your code
slightly: I have tested your codes in a blank workbook and they work fine.

Thanks for your help on this. The yellow highlighted stand out better than
the red bordered ones, I think. Brill

Where's 'ie' by the way (in your email addy)

Many thanks
Jock
