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

A colleague of mine has a large spreadsheet that she is working on and need
to have the row that she is working on highlighted so that she knows where
she is.

Is the above possible, and if so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
