If you already have a conditional format, this is problemmatical. I once
tried to work it to add a condition, but it was slow and convoluted.

An alternative is to use normal colouring, as shown below. This will wipe
out any standard colouring or borders that you may have, so if this is a
problem another way is to add a shape over the row as Chip does here
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/RowLiner.htm

'----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'----------------------------------------------------------------
With Cells
With .Borders(xlTop)
.LineStyle = xlLineStyleNone
.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End With
With .Borders(xlBottom)
.LineStyle = xlLineStyleNone
.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End With
.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End With
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("2:20")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
With .EntireRow
With .Borders(xlTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
With .Borders(xlBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
.Interior.ColorIndex = 20
End With

.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End With
End If
End Sub

I think I spoke too soon. This works fine, except it seems to interfere
with
a conditional format I have outside of the area I have the macro working.
Conditional format is based on values wihtin the area the macro runs. Any
ideas?

Works perfect. Thanks again.

Ben,

Here is an alternate. It test for rows 2:20, which you can adjust to
suit

'----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'----------------------------------------------------------------
Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("2:20")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
With .EntireRow
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression,
Formula1:="TRUE"
With .FormatConditions(1)
With .Borders(xlTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
With .Borders(xlBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = 5
End With
.Interior.ColorIndex = 20
End With
End With

.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End With
End If
End Sub

Thanks Bob! Two issues though. Any way to highlight only the row
and not
the column? And how could I limit this code to execute only within a
specific
range?

Is there any way to have excel automatically highlight the row
of a
selected
cell ?

TIA
