Hi Don and Sam Thanks for your input.
I use Win7 Excel and on a laptop. Don, your code work ok but small hiccup. The code/color changes ok when I select a different cell and then come back to actual cell again. Color and number change as required. However I would like to be able to leave the cursor in the active cell, somethimes, and each time I tap the cell on the laptop pad, it should change. That is without having to go to another cell first. In other words how do you get Excel to know when you select cell and then select again without moving. Maybe if we can after the first selection and change of color/code Excel places the active cell into a default cell nearby, and if the direction needs to be changed again I need to select that cell again. Or is there a way of refreshing the g15 cell without moving. Sam, your code brings up a run time error '13' type mismatch. The color is ok by format, but does the code allow for changing the value in the cell back and forth from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1 .
