Default Changing Cell Color with macro

Hi,

The code was executed from a command control.
I've placed activecell.activate and now it works fine.
Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Chris

How do you execute this code?

Do you run it from a commandbutton placed on a worksheet (or another control
from the control toolbox toolbar)?

If yes, then maybe it's a bug in xl97 that was fixed in xl2k.

If you use a control that has a .takefocusonclick property, toggle that property
to false.

If you use a control that doesn't have that property, add this near the top of
your code:

activecell.activate

Hi,

Does anyone know how to change the cell color with macro in Excel 97.
The following code only works in Excel 2000

Sheet13.Cells(1,2).Interior.Color = RGB(126, 255, 126) 'Grey

In Excel 97, it gives the following error:
Unable to set the Color property of the Interior class

Regards,
Chris
