Excellent. Thanks to both of you for your help.

What Dave said, Kevin. That code does nothing (except raise the warning).

| Thanks for picking this up. I'm unclear where this macro comes from. As
it

| I get the macro warning regardless of the conditional formats.
|
| The reason for it is the macro in the Sheet1 code module. Right click
the
| tab and pick View Code. It's true that Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange
has
| no
| code in it but the macro virus detection device in Excel doesn't
evaluate
| the code, it just looks to see if there is any.

| You should always mention your Excel version in a post.

| | I've used conditional formatting based on a simple formula like
| =$B6=1.
| Now
| | Excel warns me of macro viruses and I have to choose whether or
not
| to
| | enable macros before opening this spreadsheet. I'm pretty sure
this
| formula
| | is the cause because I've tested it in a spreadsheet that
contains
| nothing
| | else except the two cells under test (B6 and the cell I'm
| formatting).
| If
| I
| | change the formula to a constant and use "cell value is" then the
| macro
| | warning goes away.
| |
| | I certainly haven't created any macros in the workbook and if
there
| were
| any
| | presumably the warning wouldn't go away when I remove the
formula.
| |
| | Are formulae treated as macros by Excel security? And is there
any
| way
| to
| | achieve conditional formatting off formulae (needed to format one
| cell
| on
| | the basis of the value in another) without incurring security
| warnings?
| |
| | While I could change my own security settings I'm not at liberty
to
| change
| | those of colleagues who are using such a spreadsheet and who
don't
| want
| the
| | warnings to appear each time the workbook is opened.
| |
| | Thanks for any ideas you have.
