Hi. I'm trying to create a workbook that the user must send back to me after making changes. I am using a VBA script I found online to highlight the changes made. This is the code:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Value <> "" Then
        Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
    End If
End Sub
However, this has some limitations. If I press delete on a cell, it does not highlight. Autofilling or making changes to multiple cells at once (copy/paste) also gives a "Type mismatch" error. It seems the script/code gets confused and does not know what to do. How can I overcome these limitations?
My VBA knowledge is very limited, so any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
How about
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
   Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub

I was thinking I'm going to need some form of "else" statement, but that works perfectly. Thank you very much.
