I have a table. It would be very helpful if when I click on a cell in the
table that it highlight that particular row. I don't want it to highlight it
with a color or it will cover over the color conditional formatting I have,
but it would be great if it would show a box around it as though I selected
the entire row. Can this be done for one click only, as I have macros for
individual cells that are set for double click?

chip pearson has a very nice rowliner utility you can freely download.
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/RowLiner.htm

if thats not you are looking for you could on a very simple level, use the
worksheet selection_change event to select the required range.

Something like this may do want €“ Paste behind appropriate worksheet &
change selection range as required:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

If Intersect(Target, Range("A1:F11")) Is Nothing = False Then

Range("A" & Target.Row & ":" & "F" & Target.Row).Select

End If

End Sub

Do remember though that you will have to use Tab key to step through
selected range to get to required cell(s).

Hey! This works great. I entered the range and all is well. I do have one
other question though. There is another private sub in the view code that is
also called Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range). It
said that there was an ambiguous error due to Worksheet_SelectionChange. I
tried changing the name so that they were not the same, but didn't work. Any
suggestions?

You have answered your own question - procedure name already exits.

In that case just paste the code element in to the existing procedure i.e.
this bit:


If Intersect(Target, Range("A1:F11")) Is Nothing = False Then

Range("A" & Target.Row & ":" & "F" & Target.Row).Select

End If

I have to take back what I said. It didn't work right. When I double click on
the cell with a hyperlink, the line selection is overriding it. I would
rather not download the rowliner utility, but I may try it if I can't get
this to work?

I appreciate your help.
