Default Highlighting an entire row using conditional formating

Mike, in your formula, what would I use in place of "99" if the space is
originally blank and I intend to enter dates there. I would like to highlight
the row when the date is entered. No specific date is expected to be entered
as it would be based on when the action occurs.
Thanks,

Enter 99 in a1 and the entire row is coloured.
