Hi There

I need your help again. I created an event procedure with macros that inserts a check mark in cells When the cells are clicked only once and I made the cell color turn green. The original colors of the cells are gray. When I double click on the cells, the check mark deletes and the cell color turns white. It is no longer grey. Is it possible to make the cell's original color stay?? Here are my 2 macros. I did not include the Event Procedure.

Sub AddsCheckMark() 'This macro adds the check marks
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
If ActiveSheet.ProtectContents Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="1234"
End If
ActiveCell.Select
With Selection.Font
.Name = "Wingdings"
.FontStyle = "Regular"
.Size = 14
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Bold = True
End With

With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
End With


ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "ü"
ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
ActiveCell.Locked = False
ActiveCell.FormulaHidden = False
If Not ActiveSheet.ProtectContents Then
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="1234"
End If
End Sub


Sub ClearsCheckmark() 'This macro deletes the check mark and the color green

Sheets("Sheet1").Select
If ActiveSheet.ProtectContents Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="1234"
End If
Selection.Clear ' This code deletes the check mark and the color green but does not leave the original grey color. It turns the cell color white.
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select

If Not ActiveSheet.ProtectContents Then
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="1234"
End If
End Sub

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
Try this:

Code:
With Selection
.Clear ' This code deletes the check mark and the color green
.Style = "Custom Gray" 'sets the cell style using a custom style named Custom Gray
End With

Of course, you'll need to create the style and name it what you want.
