Default 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

maybe....

you may want to try Chip Pearson's Rowliner:

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

Bob Phillips offers an alternative using conditional formatting:
