I want to highlight a cell if the date is before todays date.

Cell M3 contains a due date, when it passes the date it needs to turn red. I'm using the code below but it highlights the whole column. I'd like it to leave everything untouched until the date is passed.
Code:
=$M$3<TODAY()< p> < TODAY()
<TODAY()[ p CODE]<>

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
