Default Conditional formatting - Not refreshing

Hi There,

I have put in the macro for conditional formatting since i have more around
10 conditions. The problem now is the colors dont appear by itself, i always
need to double click on the cell to make the coloe appear. Likewise, the
color also doesnt come back to white when the value is changed. I need to
double click the cell to get back to white. Even if i refresh using F9 or
even if i close & open the file, it does not automatically change the color..

Any reasons?? I am not able to figure out what the problem could be.

Default Conditional formatting - Not refreshing

Without seeing the code it's difficult to be dead on in telling you what is
wrong.

I suspect that you have it tied to some worksheet event, perhaps Calculate
that is not triggering because at times it doesn't have to be recalculated.

Your best bet may be to move the conditional formatting code into a regular
macro and just use it on user demand, possibly through a button or drawing
object on the worksheet.

You could put it in the Worksheet's _SelectionChange event, which would run
it every time you move from one cell to another, but that might slow down
your use of the workbook depending on how many cells it has to examine and
alter format on.

Perhaps you should post the code so others can tell what's wrong.
