Highlight cells with ctrl-click but only un-highlight one cell
 
When highlighting a number of cells using ctrl-click, and accidentally
highlighting one incorrectly, how can I un-highlight it without losing my
other selections and starting over?

Hagan, have a look here for some code to do it,

Paul,

Thanks for the link. However, I'm at the point that BillB got to, where
he said he couldn't find the personal.xls file and then how do you edit the
Workbook_Open procedure?

Paul,

Whew! That was pretty deep considering that I've never written a macro or
used VBA. Finally got it working, and it's great. Thanks a lot for your
help. Sorry I had to keep asking for instructions.
