Default Excel 2007-programming macros that apply to data validation

Greetings,

I am new to this newsgroup, so nice to meet everyone!

I have an Excel dilemma that Id like help with.

Id like to apply some macro programming logic to a data validation cell
entry, so then when a certain data value is selected in the pull down, the
entire row changes color. Here is the algorithm I wish to follow:
1) Launch Excel 2007
2) Go to Data - Data Validation Button - Data Validation in pulldown
selection
3) On the Data Validation Window, select the following:
a. Allow: List (ignore blank and in-cell dropdown are selected/checked)
b. Source: Pass,Fail,Inactive

4) Now here is the fun partwhat I want to do is add macro programming
logic, so that the following occurs:
a. If Data Validation.Pass is selected, change the font color of all text in
the current row to green
b. If Data Validation.Fail is selected, change the font color of all text in
the current row to red
c. If Data Validation.Inactive is selected, change the font color of all
text in the current row to grey

If someone could help me figure this out, Id be MOST grateful. My email is
(derekmegac)(at)(hotmail)(dot)(com)
