It is the contrasting colour of the Cell Borders. Change the border colour
and the selection colour will change.

I know this is stupid and probably an old question, BUT....

I recently downloaded the venerable Checkbook2 from the Joe Barta website:
http://www.pagetutor.com/checkbook/

On my machine running Excel 2000 on Vista Home the selected cell has a red
border.
For my old eyes it would be a great boon if I could have this on all my
spreadsheets.
How is this done? I can't find any VBA anywhere in the workbook, nor can I
identify
the method in the VBScript that opens from the sheet.

Would someone please help?

Mike
