Hi,

It will return that if the colorindex is xlautomatic

Try this

Range("a1").Font.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
Debug.Print Worksheets("Sheet").Range("a1").Font.ColorIndex

Does anyone know why

debug.print Worksheets("Sheet").Range("C955").Font.ColorIndex

sometimes returns a negative 4 digit number (e.g. -4105)
when it should return something else entirely, like a 7?

Thanks - Kirk
