I know I'm missing something. I'm using Excel 2007 but a 2003 compatible
file for the versatility of my clients. I have a 7 sheet workbook that feeds
data into the first sheet. So as to know which sheets have been modified I'm
trying to use a sequence I found here. Under [View Code] of my tab called
"Replacements" I inserted

Sub Tab_Color()
If Sheets("Replacement").Range("E44").Value 0 Then
Sheets("Replacement").Tab.ColorIndex = 4
Else
Sheets("Replacement").Tab.ColorIndex = -4142
End If
End Sub

where E44 has a formula for the whole sheet and is the cell that will
determine if the tab should change color or not. I just want to visually see
or be clued "if there's something there" while I'm on any other tab. And for
it to default back if no calculations are done on that sheet.

Using the above sequence doesn't do anything to the tab color when E44
becomes greater than 0 in its calculation. Please help...
