I have some VBA code to change the font color of a row; however,
nothing changes... any suggestions?

It starts with a "change event" that triggers the function:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal target As Range)
Application.Run UpdateRowColor(target)

then the function runs like this:

Function UpdateRowColor(target)
'This section effects changes to the "Project Phase" column
If Not Intersect(target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
If target.Count 1 Then
Exit Function
Else
Select Case target.Value
Case Is = "CA"
Range(target.Row & ":" & target.Row).Font.ColorIndex
= 45
Case Is = "CD"
...

(one (but only 1) of the cells in any given row has a "conditoinal
formatting")

thanks in advance,

This works fine for me.

In the sheet that you want this to take place in:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal target As Range)
Application.Run UpdateRowColor(target)
End Sub

In a standard module:
Function UpdateRowColor(target As Range)
'This section effects changes to the "Project Phase" column
If Not Intersect(target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
If target.Count 1 Then
Exit Function
Else
With target
Select Case .Value
Case Is = "CA"
Rows(.Row).Font.ColorIndex = 45
Case Is = "CD"
Rows(.Row).Font.ColorIndex = 5
End Select
End With
End If
End If
End Function
