I have a very large spreadsheet with first and last names
in the first two columns. Is there any way for me tell
the spreadsheet to highlight the row I am on when I click
on a cell?

This will do as you want, BUT, beware that this effectively disables any undo
levels - so be careful:-

And also see the caveat I gave in my note re undo levels. :-)

Hi Ken

my note re undo levels
Most macro's have that problem

But maybe a note about this on the sites is a suggestion for J.E and Chip

Wow! Thanks it works great. But, how do I make it work
when the spreadsheet is protected?? PS I am the person who
protected it, but I want it protected when others use it.
