Changing color of tabs
 

I have a macro that I want to change the color of the tabs ( I think it is
tab in english, I am referring to the small part of the worksheet that
displays the name etc..). When writing the code I want to select a number of
tabs and then change their color instead of writing code for every one of
them. However I dont know how to write it.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets(Array("Tracking Error", "Mod Dur", "Indata")).Select
With Selection.Tab
.ColorIndex = 4
End With

My code does not work. Please help me!

Fabrizio,
I don't use a version of Excel that supports that, but have you tried
recording a macro whilst you make these changes ?

The recorder doesn't help much in this instance.
Also, I doubt if the Workbook_Open event is the proper place for the code....

Sub OverTheRainbow()
Dim objSht As Object
For Each objSht In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
objSht.Tab.ColorIndex = 4
Next
End Sub
