Active Cell Selector

Is there a way to change the color of the active cell selector outline? I created a form and want the activecell to be highlighted as you move through the form.

The logic behind this comes from
Chip Pearson's site (www.cpearson.com).

What this lacks is a test to see if a
particular form is loaded or not--you
might want this behavior to start when
the form becomes visible and to stop
when it's hidden. (I couldn't get it to
work that way.)

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

Static OldRange As Range
Static OldColor As Integer
Static NewColor As Integer
On Error Resume Next
NewColor = Target.Interior.ColorIndex
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 ' yellow - change as needed
OldRange.Interior.ColorIndex = OldColor
Set OldRange = Target
OldColor = NewColor
End Sub
