Hi,

I'm sure this is so simple - but i cant get my head round it!

All i want is the macro to run on the current selected range (jus
format some cells) but i dont want any message boxes the user jus
highlights the range and then hits the macro key.

Sub FormatCells()

Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = ActiveCell.Selection (tried ActiveSheet.Selection an
varoius others but to no avail!)

myRange.Interior.Color = vbBlue
'etc

End Sub

Wondered if anyone could provide some help

Thank

Either of these will do.

Sub formatcells()
Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = Selection
myRange.Interior.Color = vbBlue
End Sub

Sub formatcells22()
With Selection
..Interior.Color = vbBlue
End With
End Sub

Sub test()

Dim rng As Range

Set rng = Selection

rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 3

End Sub

You can do it directly on Selection as well, without setting a range.

End Suib
