auto colour on search?`

[WERNER SLABBERT]

Hi all

i just wanna know is it possible to have a vb script or macro that will enable me to do a search for say a number where the number will be in column A on sheet 1 and then when the number is found that whole row will be coloured in say yellow or something?

i work with these bloody long sheets of stock numbers and descriptions and then i have to sit and manually search for the numbers and colour them .

i just wanna save some time...

any help appreciated...
