My first response was there and then it was gone now it's
there.
It must be something with my system, eyes, monitor etc.
sorry about that.

================================================== ===
This is the I use to apply shading to cells by asigning it
to a custom button on a toolbar. The selection of colors
as shown in the help system as represented
by "Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 48", doesn't
corrospond to the colors on the screen. I had to try each
number from 1 to 56 to see what the colors are.
On my system the number 48 relates to a light gray while
the number 2 relates to white.
What am I doing wrong?

==================================================
Sub MyLightShade()

If Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 48 Then
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 2
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
Else: Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 2
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 48
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
End If

End Sub

Leonard,

I'm not sure what your question is. The
IndicatorColorIndex
property applies only to the ErrorCheckingOptions object.
What
color selections are gray? Perhaps you could provide a
few more
details about what you are trying to do, and include some
sample
code.

I had responed with a thank you which you deleted. Is it
inappropriate for extraneous responses to be posted,
even
if they are benign?

No one deletes posts. I can see your follow-up thank-you
post. And
yes, it is entirely fine to post thank-you posts. In
fact, it
should be encouraged.

I have a custom toolbar button that sets color to a
cell.
I am assigning a color index # in my code, referencing
the "IndicatorColorIndex". It seems almost a forth of
the
color selections are gray... is this normal?
Is there a way of adding additional colors?

Thank you for your quick response on a prvious question.
