OK, if you post the code you have sofar in the NG:
microsoft.public.vb.winapi and/or microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion
then I am sure somebody will tell you how to set the background color.

Thanks Smissaert .

No . I can't use a UserForm as I would need to reduce its Width to macth
that of the underlying Worksheet Cell.

Apparently, an XL Userform Width can't be reduced below a certain level
even
after removing its title bar, caption and changing other of its Styles. I
have already tried doing this via various APIs but failed ! I hope I am
wrong
though in which case I would definitely use a UserForm for this instead of
a
Static Window.

I can't beleive that such seemingly easy thing ie: Simply setting the
BackColor of a Window programatically can be that difficult !!!!

I hope someone knows the answer to this one.

Regards.
