Default Newbie Needs Help.

I've been thrown in at the deep end with a spreadsheet at work and need some
help with some VBA code (I know a bit of VB.net but no VBA)

Details a

1. We have a sheet with data in columns A-K
2. Data in column 'D' is changed and depending on the contents of the cell
in column 'D' I need to colour the entire row a particular colour. (There are
aroun ten different things that could be in column 'D')

My solution outline is:

1. When a cell is changed, put the contents of the cell into a string
variable.
2. Use a Case....Select Statement to test the contents of the variable.
3. Depending on the value of the variable change the entire row (but only
columns A-K) to the appropriate colour.

Examples:
The text 'CAD / CAM' is entered into cell D3 - Cells A3-K3 should be
coloured Red.
The text 'Model' is entered into Cell D5 - Cells A5-K5 should be coloured
blue.

If anyone can give me an idea of how to accomplish this, or point me in the
direction of some help pages I'd be grateful.

I think we only need to run this in Excel 2003 if that makes a difference

Thanks in advance

Neil
