So i want to highlight the active row across all workbooks.

here is the code for the worksheet.

I also want to code this from a macro. for example after doing workbook.add i want to add the same functionality to the new sheet / workbook

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

   If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
 
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
 
   ' Clear the color of all the cells
    Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
    With Target
        ' Highlight the entire row and column that contain the active cell
        .EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
        .EntireColumn.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
    End With
 
   Application.ScreenUpdating = True 

End Sub
