Default Colored Cell

I need to create a macro that will display a color in a cell depending on the
condition of a different cell. For example if cell B1 has a 0 in it, A1 will
turn red, otherwise it wont have a color. This needs to happen in about 4000
consecutive cells. Probably be easiest if it just happens when the workbook
is opened. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can use the change event in the sheet module then

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Range("B1").Value
Case 0: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case 1: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 5
Case 2: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 7
Case 3: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 9
Case 4: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 11
Case 5: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 13
Case Else: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End Select
End Sub

Use this one, test first if B1 is the cell that is changed before you run the code

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("B1"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Range("B1").Value
Case 0: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case 1: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 5
Case 2: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 7
Case 3: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 9
Case 4: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 11
Case 5: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = 13
Case Else: Range("A1:A4000").Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End Select
End If
End Sub

I dont think I was totally clear. It more like if B1 = 0 then A1 is red, if
b2 = 0 then A1 is red etc...through 4000 rows. i think i need a loop that
checks each row individually. i dont really understand how to create loops
though.

Then we do it like this

I use the whole column here but you can change it to
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("B1:B4000"), Target) Is Nothing Then



Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("B:B"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target.Value
Case 0: Target.Offset(0, -1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case 1: Target.Offset(0, -1).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
Case 2: Target.Offset(0, -1).Interior.ColorIndex = 7
Case 3: Target.Offset(0, -1).Interior.ColorIndex = 9
Case 4: Target.Offset(0, -1).Interior.ColorIndex = 11
Case 5: Target.Offset(0, -1).Interior.ColorIndex = 13
Case Else: Target.Offset(0, -1).Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End Select
End If
End Sub
