Default Default colour in cell based on specific entry

Hello Bob,

Here is my problem defined a little better:

I want to enter a value in any cell in the range A5:H5. If the value which I
entered, also appears in A1:H1, then I want that found value in the range
A1:H1 to be coloured pink.

Thanx once again.
