Hi Bob,
I thought I'd just have another shot of this before calling it a day (more
like month!!)
I decided to record a macro of deleting the text "Blank" in the cell, and
then looking at the code it produced. I then entered the following code
(second line) to the "Blank Case" to give me the result I was seeking.

Case "Blank"
Range("B" & i & ":M" & i).Interior.ColorIndex = Null
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ""

Thanks
Dermot

Hi Bob
I tried changing the Else statement, it takes away the colour formatting,
but the text "Blank" (the option I have in the validation list to remove all
formatting within the selected row range) remains.
I was determined to try and do this myself have dried may different things
but I anly manage to revove the colur not the text contents.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Try changing your Case Else code to


Case Else
Range("B" & i & ":M" & i).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Target.Value = ""

Thanks Bob
For the link and explanation regarding creating a validatation list from
list in a range of cells and contextures link.

I have the "Ignore Blanks" check box selected, but when I click on my undo
option to remove the formating the Text "Undo" remains in the cell.
Do I have to manually delete this text ?
Is there a way to achieve this deletion automatically when the colour
formatting
is remove when "Undo" option clicked in the validation list?

If I create a validation list, with an option Yes, the text "Yes"
appears
in
the relevant cell.How do I create an option in the validation list to
return
it to a blank cell with no text.

As long as you do not uncheck 'Ignore Blanks', then you can clear any
value
down and it will allow blank

1. Can you program a full validation list instead of using Data |
Validation
List?

Yes, you create a list of values and use say =M1:M10 in the List textbox

2. Is there a way to increase the width of the Validation List
dropdown to
accomodate longer words?

You can increase the column width, or you can 'frig it' as Debra shows
