You can only have ONE worksheet_change event per sheet. Combine your code
within the macro.

Chris, were you able to figure this out. I just put in some code in VB a
few
minutes ago and I am getting the same message. I notice that some of the
code I copied to run a different macro in the same sheet has the same
line:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change (ByVal Target As Range).

as the new code I put in this morning.

Thanks for any help, especially if you could get back to me right away.

Frist I'd like to thank you for your time and the code but I have a
problem
with it. I know very little VB. I keep getting a compile error:
Ambiguous
name detected: xlColorIndex

Chris,

The pasted section below is Bob Phillips' answer to the same question a
while ago (I just do the copy/pasting)

++++++++++++++++++

I want to use more than 3 conditions, I know that there is a way to use
VBA
to do this but I have no idea of how to use vba. What I have is a list
contained in a cell from which the user picks a word and I want each
word to
have an associated colour appear in another cell. I cant seem to
understand
how the VB codes are supposed to work so i have not been able to adapt
them
from other users suggestions

I cannot use the tool in www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.CFPlus as Im not
allowed to download it, also multiple users will need to use the
s/sheet


What I need to do is when a user selects
"On track" in the list the corresponding cell in the work sheet needs
to
turn green
"completed" needs to be blue
"overdue" needs to be red
"late" needs to be red
"problem" needs to be red
"Agreed" needs to be purple
"confirmed" needs to be purple

would greatly appreciate any help
