How do I prevent the background from changing when I use Row-Liner in a protected worksheet. I used the following VB Code, but the backgrounds I used changed to white.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Static OldCell As Range
If Application.CutCopyMode = 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="union"
If Not OldCell Is Nothing Then
With OldCell.EntireRow
..Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
..Borders.LineStyle = xlLineStyleNone
End With
End If
Set OldCell = Target
With OldCell.EntireRow
..Interior.ColorIndex = 6
..EntireRow.Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
End With
Else
If OldCell Is Nothing Then
Set OldCell = Target
Else
Set OldCell = Union(OldCell, Target)
End If
End If
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="union"
End Sub

That is not Chip's RowLiner add-in.

It is event code to be used in place of the Add-in because the Add-in won't
work on protected sheets.

One disadvantage of the code you are using is the wiping out of existing
background colors.

How can I highlight the active row in a protected excel worksheet?

This event code from Mike H will not wipe out existing formatting.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'row highlighter
'Mike H.........does not destroy existing formats
Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
With Target.EntireRow
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="TRUE"
With .FormatConditions(1)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 20
End With
End With
End Sub
