hey guys

I remember seeing a nifty little code that when you moved
the cursor in Excel, it would turn the underlying cell a
color. As you move the cursor around on the Excel
spreadhseet, the cell in which the cursor was over would
temporarily turn a color to let you know where the cursor
is. Now I know of some codes that do this but you have to
click the cell for it happen. This is not what I want. I
want it to turn colors as the curssor is simply moving.
This is very helpful when dealing with allot of data close
together. Can anyone please tell me this code?


Thanks in advance.

Hey thanks, but thats not exactly what I wanted. This
particular code makes the color change in the cell without
having to actually click on a particular cell. Do you
know what that is?

I don't think it is possible to do this, since Excel has no
MouseMove event or anything similar.
