Hello, I have a question and wanted to know if it was possibe and if so how. I wanted to link cells from one workbook to another (Which I know how to do) the problem im having is the linking works but why doesnt the cell color chang like it is in the workbook im linking from? Example: If A1 has text (Me) with the cell being green then the linked workbook would only have the text (Me) and not the green cell. How would I do this?

Oh and there is no formula or code in the cells to change the colors its done manually.

Thanks,
Chad
