I found this at http://www.cpearson.com/excel/excelM...ightActiveCell
As per instructions use the following code in the
Workbook_SheetSelectionChange event of the workbook.

It works great.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Static OldRange As Range
On Error Resume Next
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 ' yellow - change as needed
OldRange.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
Set OldRange = Target

End Sub

Hi RJJ,

The best I have been able to work out is you will have to select another
cell then reclick the first cell to change the color back to no color. I do
not know if it is possible to change to a color when you click on, and change
back when you click off a cell.

Almost but,

the cell is changed to yellow but I need it to revert back to "no fill" when
unselected

Hi RJJ,

Since the macros take you to sected cells, you can add this to each macro.
If your selected cell on the first macro is A1:
(You can most likely omit the first line since your macro will take you to
the specified cell)

Range("A1").Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.color = 65535
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With

This will add the color Yellow to the cell.

I have a macro on sheet (1) that takes me to a specific cell on sheet (2). I
need the now selected cell on sheet(2) to highlight to some color (yellow
probably). The macros on sheet (1) are along side a long list of names. So as
I select the appropriate macro, the appropriate cell needs to highlight on
sheet (2). This workbook will ultimately be placed on a server drive so the
formatting, code, macro or whatever needs to be within the workbook and not
an add-on that is specific to the terminal.
