Working with XL and another not related application
I work with xl and another non related application at the same time ( 2
windows) I need to see the last cell I left on xl when changing to the 2nd application and of course what happens is that when I do the swithching , that application becomes 'active' and Xl will be the 'inactive window.' Is there any way in earth, that I could still see the last cell I was working on xl before becoming inactive. THANKS |

Working with XL and another not related application
Set the fill color of the active cell to something bright - like yellow,
before selecting the other app. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200821 "Excelfan" wrote: I work with xl and another non related application at the same time ( 2 windows) I need to see the last cell I left on xl when changing to the 2nd application and of course what happens is that when I do the swithching , that application becomes 'active' and Xl will be the 'inactive window.'

Thanks, Gary, that will be a solution, but the cell is different everytime,
I'm sure the color will go with the active cell , but how?, formula, macro?

Working with XL and another not related application
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Static OldCell As Range If Application.CutCopyMode = 0 Then If Not OldCell Is Nothing Then OldCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone OldCell.Borders.LineStyle = xlLineStyleNone End If Set OldCell = Target OldCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 OldCell.Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous Else If OldCell Is Nothing Then Set OldCell = Target Else Set OldCell = Union(OldCell, Target) End If End If End Sub Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code" Copy/paste the code into that sheet module. Whichever cell you select will be high-lighted in yellow.

Working with XL and another not related application
Cell borders are included in the code but you won't see them while the cell
is selected so don't know why I added that bit. Probably left over from something else. Delete those two lines and you will see the default dark cell outline. OldCell.Borders.LineStyle = xlLineStyleNone OldCell.Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous Gord On Sat, 20 Dec 2008 12:38:01 -0800, Excelfan wrote: That is cool stuff. Thanks Gord.
