Once again thank you Toppers - the added code top and bottom did the trick

And John thank you - I have abbreviated the lines you mentioned

Sandy,
You need the Application.EnableEvents logic to stop the
looping:
your clearing the cells invokes the macro again (and again ...!). Not sure
where you want your new code.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit '<===
Application.EnableEvents = False '<===
For Each myCell In Range("C13:G13,M13:Q13")
If myCell.Value = "Miss" Then

With myCell.Offset(1)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 36 'Light Yellow
.BorderAround LineStyle:=xlContinuous,
Weight:=xlThin, _
ColorIndex:=11
With .Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList,
Formula1:="Left,Right,Short,Long"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
End With
End With

With myCell.Offset(2)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 36 'Light Yellow
.BorderAround LineStyle:=xlContinuous,
Weight:=xlThin, _
ColorIndex:=11
With .Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, Formula1:="Yes,No"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
End With
End With

With myCell.Offset(3)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 36 'Light Yellow
.BorderAround LineStyle:=xlContinuous,
Weight:=xlThin, _
ColorIndex:=11
With .Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, Formula1:="Yes,No"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
End With
End With

With myCell.Offset(1).Resize(3, 1)
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue,
Operator:=xlGreater, _
Formula1:="0"
.FormatConditions(1).Font.ColorIndex = 2
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
End With
End If
Next
ws_exit: '<===
Application.EnableEvents = True '<====
End Sub

Hi

The following resets the cell interior to Dark Blue - which is fine

If myCell.Value = "Hit" Then
With myCell.Offset(1).Resize(3, 1)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 11
With .Validation
.Delete
End With
End With
End If

However I need to clear the contents of the cells too - if I do this

If myCell.Value = "Hit" Then
With myCell.Offset(1).Resize(3, 1)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 11
.ClearContents
With .Validation
.Delete
End With
End With
End If

it goes into an endless loop. Any suggestions

Sandy
