I'm not Jim, but if there's nothing in that worksheet module that does anything,
then you can select all the text (ctrl-a) with that code window active and hit
the delete key. (You can't delete the worksheet module itself.

Thanks for picking this up. I'm unclear where this macro comes from. As it
doesn't contain any code would you expect I can just delete it?

Thanks for your help

I get the macro warning regardless of the conditional formats.

The reason for it is the macro in the Sheet1 code module. Right click the
tab and pick View Code. It's true that Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange has
no
code in it but the macro virus detection device in Excel doesn't evaluate
the code, it just looks to see if there is any.

Sorry - I'm using Excel 2003 and I've attached a test workbook that
manifests the problem. My Excel Macro Security level is set to medium.

Thanks

Kevin

You should always mention your Excel version in a post.

I tried Excel 97 through Excel 2003 and couldn't reproduce the problem.
If
you have a simple workbook that demonstrates the issue you can send it
to
me.
