I have the code below, it's kind of patched together, it works as far as
finding the date in one of the worksheets in the array (the message box
proves this) but then after finding the date it should choose an offset
depending on the value in combobox1 and then colour it red however this
is where the problem is..........i also want to be able to change the
cell back to its original colour after the date in combobox2 searched
has passed by 7 days.

Any ideas?
Regards,
Simon

This post is on from a previous post
http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=557701, i have tried various
combinations after the Case element but i cannot seem to select or use
"r" and if i dont the code below stops at the With Sheets(wks.Name).

Any ideas?

Regards
Simon

Hi all i have modified the code below........and indeed it does colour a
cell Red after finding the date in the rng.....however the cell it is
colouring red is the last clicked cell (activecell) on the sheet!, not
only is it colouring it red it is filling it with the contents of "r"
(mycell.offset(x, x)) any ideas why this is happening?

Regards,
Simon
