I have the following and am receiving a run time error 1004. Application
defined or Object Defined error.

What am I doing incorrectly?

Worksheets(1).Activate
If CheckBox1.Value = True Then
Set rg1 = Range("A17:F17")
Sheets(1).Range("rg1").Interior.Color = vbYellow
Else

I am trying to select the cells from A17 - F17 and highlight them yellow.

Thank you,
Roger

You need to replace the line...

Sheets(1).Range("rg1").Interior.Color = vbYellow

with

Worksheets(1) ' if the active sheet is something
'other than the 1st worksheet
rg1.Interior.Color = vbYellow

Hope that helps.

Oops... I just noticed that you activated the first worksheet above your if/
else statement. In that case you only need...

rg1.Interior.Color = vbYellow
