Hello,

I have soem code that doesnt quite work properly and was hoping for some
guidance.

I want to colour the first column of the selected row black, so it
highlights to the user which row they are in. Then when the user moves to
another row the first column of the previous cell reverst back to no colour.
Here is the code so far:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lRow As Long

For lRow = 34 To 100
If lRow = ActiveCell.Row Then
Cells(Target.Row, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 1
Else
Cells(Target.Row, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If

Next

End Sub

I think the problem is with the line:

If lRow = ActiveCell.Row Then

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Martin

This is the code I use in my sheets to do what you're talking about, it
always keeps the current row highlighted all the way across the screen.
Works great for me.

Code:
--------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Const cnNUMCOLS As Long = 100
Const cnHIGHLIGHTCOLOR As Long = 36 'default lt. yellow
Static rOld As Range
Static nColorIndices(1 To cnNUMCOLS) As Long
Dim i As Long
If Not rOld Is Nothing Then 'Restore color indices
With rOld.Cells
If .Row = ActiveCell.Row Then Exit Sub 'same row, don't restore
For i = 1 To cnNUMCOLS
.Item(i).Interior.ColorIndex = nColorIndices(i)
Next i
End With
End If
Set rOld = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 1).Resize(1, cnNUMCOLS)
With rOld
For i = 1 To cnNUMCOLS
nColorIndices(i) = .Item(i).Interior.ColorIndex
Next i
.Interior.ColorIndex = cnHIGHLIGHTCOLOR
End With
End Sub
--------------------

This code would go into the worksheet tab.

Thank you for sharing that, it works perfectly and is much more advanced than
my code so it will help to increase my understanding.

Many thanks,

Martin

Maybe you want this sub:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Range(Cells(34, 1), Cells(100, 1)).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
If Target.Row = 34 And Target.Row <= 100 Then
Cells(Target.Row, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 1
End If
End Sub

Stefi, even simpler and works in the row range I need.

Thank you
