Default Shade a cell

FYI.................

Hey Guys... On this subject a few days back -- I was rummaging around
In my treasure-chest of macros and came across the following (which
allows
for the highlighting of the activecell WITHOUT affecting any previously
established Conditional Formatting.. << Pretty neat Your Comments?

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Static OldCell As Range
If Application.CutCopyMode = 0 Then
If Not OldCell Is Nothing Then
OldCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
OldCell.Borders.LineStyle = xlLineStyleNone
End If
Set OldCell = Target
OldCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
OldCell.Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
Else
If OldCell Is Nothing Then
Set OldCell = Target
Else
Set OldCell = Union(OldCell, Target)
End If
End If
End Sub


Happy New Year !!
Thanks for all your help in 2006, 2005, 2004...!!

I did before I posted.

I put 7 in A1.
I used a CF rule #1 of value = 7 and changed the fill color.
I finished up and the CF was in effect.

I added your code behind the worksheet and selected a different location.
Then
back to A1 and my shading was gone. I looked at the CF rule and yours was
in
its place.

What am I missing?

Dave,

Test it. You can even add new.

You sure?

Application.Cells.FormatConditions.Delete

Looks like it would destroy any existing conditional formats.

Caution!!
This will, of course, "destroy" any and all other conditional
formatting you have or need to maintain in the sheet.
