Conditional worksheet tab color????

[bobmc]

Is it possible to have a worksheet's tab color change based on whether or not any information has been entered into any of its cells?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks.

Only in Excel XP

Any chance of VB script on this?

Place this in the Private module of the Worksheet.


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A10")) Is Nothing Then
Me.tab.Color.Index = 6
End If
End Sub

After placing the above code into a new worksheet to test it, then entering a number in one of the cells covered by the range, I got a "runtime error 424 - Object required".

When I go to DeBug, the line with "Me.Tab.Color.Index = 6" is hilighted. I am trying to do this with Excel 2002 rather than XE as prescribed above.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Was able to make it work with a little bit of a change.

All's well!
