Change Formatting In 'Active' Cell
 

Hi


I want to apply some way of keeping the formatting of an established
spreadsheet the same but changing it in the 'Active' highlighted cell only,
so that if i came onto the sheet at a specific cell from a hyperlink, the
cell that it took me to (the active one) would stand out from the rest of the
sheet.

Can anyone let me know if such thing is possible, & if so, how it is done.


Any help much appreciated


cheers

you may want to try Chip Pearson's Rowliner:

It works for the activecell--no matter how you got there.

Ive seen that & it look like it would be close to what i need, but i wont be
allowed to download anything like that onto my office machine.

Do you know any way to get the macro code for it?

Bob Phillips offers an alternative using conditional formatting:
