met.

-1015+1015 = exactly 0, Cell turns green

Have you looked at conditional formatting? I don't know how many different
scenarios you have. Conditional formatting only supports three.

Does it have to be with VB code ? Conditional formatting (Format menu) is
far easier.

Why are so many newsgroup postings channeled through Excelforum saying "any
ideas?" by the way ?

Take a look at "conditional formating". You should be
able to accomplish what you want.

.

First format your cells to be green.

Then select your cells then from the Format menu, choose Conditional
formatting. Set up the first format with Not Equal To 0 and then click
the format button and select Red.

It's pretty self-explanatory.

Huh? I just said any ideas at the end cos I was clueless and it leaves
the question more open than saying, only people who deffinatly know how
to solve this answer me. I'm open to all and any suggestions.
