Default Color cell text based on date

I need a way to color all dates in a column if the date is later than today.
I can do it using the autofilter, but if there are no late dates, it colors
the whole workbook.

Help.

You can do this with Conditional Formatting on the Format menu.
Select the cells you want to format, change "Cell Value Is" to
"Formula Is" and use a formula like

=A1TODAY()

Change the A1 to the first selected cell.

Can this be done with VBA?
