Default Cond Format - 7 conditions

That worked great, but once I import the Excel worksheet into MS Access and
then export it back out to my Excel template with the code you supplied, I
don't get the colors in the cell unless I go into each cell and hit enter.
How can they automatically show the color with out me having to do this?

Thanks,

Sarah

Here is some VBA code (courtesy of Bob Phillips) which will
allow you to code more than 3 conditions:


'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1:H10" '<=== change to suit


On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case 1: .Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red
Case 2: .Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
Case 3: .Interior.ColorIndex = 5 'blue
Case 4: .Interior.ColorIndex = 10 'green
End Select
End With
End If


ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Does anyone know how to set more than 3 conditional formats? I want the user
to be able to type in a number and date in a cell like so:

1 04/05/07

and based on the number in the left most position, shade the cell a specific
color. I would have up to 7 different color shades.

Thanks,
