Jacob's code works for me. Did you try the code I posted against your
response to Jacob elsewhere in this thread?

When I select a cell, it is automatically highlighted with a heavy border
around it, so I'm guessing you have something else in mind... if you
describe what it is, maybe we can help you out. Just so you know,
whatever
you describe for us will probably require VB code, so be prepared for
that.

Can excel be set so that the active cell is highlighted while data is
entered?

.
I have a simple invoice system that pretty much had to be custom made for
an odd industry. Many of the cells are already surrounded by a border so
when I select those cells to enter data into them the highlighted border
virtually disappears. If I leave for a moment or two I have to re-select
the cell as I can not see which one I have left open.
