Default Hide cell select border when clicked

OK, this is a weird question and was wondering what your thoughts were in
this attempt. I have a large workbook that will be locked for my users but I
need to keep the cells selectable for all my hyperlinks to work.

My question is if I can somehow hide the cell select border if a user clicks
on a cell. I know it would be hard to see which cell you are on but it is not
a problem in my case since all the input is radio buttons. It would make the
whole workbook a bit more professional looking in my opinion. Of course, I
would only want this for the active workbook that is open and no other
workbooks (I know there is VBA do to that).

Any help or alternative ideas would be appreciated!

I don't know, but I thought I'd post to say that I looked. I found
one reference where a Mac user claimed that it's controlled by the
display settings:

I couldn't figure out how to change the color or eliminate the
highlight on my PC.
You can, of course, diminish the prominence by putting a solid border
on the selected cell, but there are still two thin border lines when
the cell is selected.

Thanks, Jason. I have been searching all over for the past 2 hours and found
that as well. I can't figure it out on a PC though. There must be a way to do
it via VBA...the search continues.
