what code can I use to assign to a macro that will disable the following
macro and clear the formatting? When I enable and use the macro and then
close the workbook and then open the workbook, even if I disable the macro,
the format is still there and I can't clear it using the standard formatting
toolbar. I want to be able to turn on and off the macro and formatting. The
following code enables the macro, now I need one to disbale it.

Assuming that the target cell is the activecell when the icon is clicked,
then in a standard module create

'----------------------------------------------------------------
Public Sub SetHighlight(ByVal Target As Range)
'----------------------------------------------------------------
Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
With Target
.EntireRow.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
AddRowBorders Target.EntireRow
With .EntireColumn
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
End With
AddColumnBorders Target.EntireColumn

.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End With

End Sub

Private Sub AddRowBorders(pRow As Range)
With pRow
With .FormatConditions(1)
With .Borders(xlTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
With .Borders(xlBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
.Interior.ColorIndex = 20
End With
End With
End Sub

Private Sub AddColumnBorders(pColumn As Range)
With pColumn
With .FormatConditions(1)
With .Borders(xlLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
With .Borders(xlRight)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
.Interior.ColorIndex = 20
End With
End With
End Sub


then add a new macro in a standrad code module

Public Sub Icon_Click()
Call SetHighlight(Activecell)
End Sub

and finally change the worksheet change event to


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Call SetHighlight(Target)
End Sub
