[SOLVED]I am trying to run the following code out of my personal workbook. It works on any new workbook I create, but not on any previous workbook (still xlsx) that I open.

Sorry if this is a bit messy. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello ndsutherland,
If the workbooks you are opening are xlsx then the code will fail. The reason is an xlsx workbook does not contain VBA macros and therefore no code modules.
Sincerely,
Leith Ross
Remember To Do the Following....
1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.2. Thank those who have helped you by clicking the Starbelow the post.
3. Please mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily.

What are you trying to do with this code?
It appears you are trying to alter code in a workbook and apply conditional formatting in the same workbook.
If posting code please use code tags, see here.
Thank you for responding.
I am running this code out of "personal.xlsb," and it works in any .xlsx file I create, close, and reopen but not on previously created xlsx or xlsm files.

This code toggles conditional formatting to highlight the active row and inserts and deletes code in the activesheet module to update every time a new cell is selected.
Why do you need to insert/delete code to do that?
Without the code I have to manually recalculate every time I select a different cell for the conditional formatting to take effect.

I believe I got it working. I had to do some research on extensibility on the CPearson site. I'm not a big fan of enabling access to the VBA project, but I added a reminder to disable the checkbox.
Before running this code, enable access to the vba project model and enable microsoft visual basic extensibility 5.3 in references for whichever workbook you run this code out of.
