Default Changing cell color by clicking the cell

I have a vacation schedule for employees. As they turn in a vacation request,
I add it to the spreadsheet as pending. Once it is approved by management, I
would like to click the cell and have it turn green and the letter 'A' appear
as approved. If it is denied, the cell should be turned red and the letter
'D' inserted. The original input cell has a '1', '2', '3' (ist, 2nd, 3rd
chocie) or a V as a non-choice vacation (usually a one day request. The
pending status is always normal white cell shading. Is there any way of
cycling through the cell color choices....green to red...as I click on the
cell ? I'm sure I would have to do each cell separatly (2 week vacation, for
example) but that would still be easier than highlighting and re-typing every
cell. I did notice a 2007 posting for changing from one color to the next,
but not sure about cycling through with multiple choices.
