I am trying to set up certain tabs to automatically change colors based off a value from a primary page. The issue is that the cell I am trying to pull from has a drop-down box to select the color name, and then a conditional formatting to change the color of that cell based off of the selected name. So, I select the cell color from the drop-down list, and then the cell changes color to match the color word. This is then use to color code the top of whatever pages reference that cell. Everything works fine except for the tab changing color. for example, I select the word blue from the drop-down list, the cell then changes to blue. The 3 other pages that reference that cell change color to match the selected cell. But I cannot get the spreadsheets tab to change color. Any help, if it is even possible would be of great help. Thank you.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
