Default Fill Color Won't Be Edited

I am using Excel 2003. I have a workbook with several sheets. On one sheet, I
have a column that shows about 25 cells colored turquoise. When I select them
and choose "No Fill" or white for fill, it changes to what I select. As soon
as I switch to another sheet, then return, the turquoise has returned.
I have checked protection, closed and relaunched the sheet, even rebooted my
machine - to no avail. I have tried deleting and recreating the column and it
still remains in the same range as before I deleted.
Help! What is going on here?

Perhaps there is Activate Event Code attached to this sheet. Check the code
behind the sheet

That did it! Thank you. I thought I was going crazy.
