Default DE-ACTIVATE: Excel should feature a highlighted row/column cur

Bob,

Thanks for your help. And I like the idea of a toggle for Microsoft, but I
like better for me right now the ability to paste in the code as I need for
multiple workbooks.

I was thinking I could paste in both the activate and de-activate codes
together on each sheet I wanted to use the feature on. Otherwise, I can only
have this toggle button for the sheet you do it to.

Does that make sense? This way, it seems very straightforward and I can
share the feature with others. And we can use it only on the worksheets we
want to, and by simply de-activating get the sheets back to their untouched,
native form.

It must be pretty simple (for you, not for me) to un-do your macro with one
that puts everything back to the default setting. Is there a way to get back
to the default settings with a "de-activate" code for now?

You're too good to me,

Jay

Bob,

I'm not sure I can send this workbook with financial data from the company
I'm doing contract accounting work for in Boston, but isn't there a way to
De-Activate the code by reversing the steps the code does when it is
activated?



That is the principle of how you would do it. But your idea of a toggle is
eminently sensible, and I think the way to go. Could you not strip the
confidential data out, even if it mean the data worksheets. I don't need to
see the data, just have your workbook to add the toggle.


This is really what I need. And I now understand that the printing codce
belongs with the workbook, not the worksheet. I did not read it carefully
enough.



That''s good news.


By the way, what do you do for work? You seem to know this stuff pretty

well.

work, but it is not my primary occupation.
