Hi Nwhan,

I asked the same question sometime ago and was offered the following
solutions were offered by Julie D, Bob Philips and Ron de Bruin.

See below.


Hi Pank

found this code from an old post by Earl Kiosterud - which seems to do what
you require
---------

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Static Roww As Integer
Static NotFirstTime As Boolean
Application.EnableEvents = False
If NotFirstTime Then ' remove color fill from prior row
Range(Cells(Roww, 1), Cells(Roww, 10)).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Else
NotFirstTime = True
End If
Range(Cells(Target.Row, 1), Cells(Target.Row, 10)).Select
Roww = Selection.Row ' save current row for uncoloring when row exited
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 4 ' color current row
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

------------

to utilise the code, right mouse click on the sheet tab of the sheet you
want to use this in - choose view code - and copy & paste the code in there
use alt & f11 to switch back to the sheet and try it

Cheers
JulieD

as records in excel increase, its hard for us to know which rows we are
selected or referring to..for example column(A) to column(Z) in row 10
it will be easier if the selected row(10) is highlighted the moment we move
to row10
to edit any column ...
wonder if i can do that ?

when u move out from row10, maybe to row 15...then row 15 will be
highlighted next..
the moment we move to whichever row, that particular row is to be
highlighted..

can it be done ? thanks...
