Color active cell
Can the active cell be made to automatically appear in color instead of
white. The purpose would be help your eye locate the cell when moving thru the sheet. |

You could download Chip Pearson's ROWLINER add-in as Dave suggests.
Or use event code Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) Static OldCell As Range If Not OldCell Is Nothing Then OldCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone End If Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Set OldCell = Target End Sub Note: this is sheet event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code". Copy/paste into that module. If not what you're looking for, post back.

Jim
This code was originally from Chip Pearson from this site. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/excelM...ightActiveCell I don't know how to modify to allow copy/cut paste. Suggest you use Chip's Rowliner add-in as he suggests at the site above. A caveat with the Rowliner. After the copy, be sure to right-click on the destination cell to paste. Left-click and paste will paste a picture Gord On Sun, 15 Oct 2006 16:46:04 +0000, "Jim May" wrote: Gord, this is great code; the code however prevents me from doing any copy/cut and paste rountines; How can I do both?
