    Selecting field color

    Hi everyone,
    I've searched around, but my main problem is that i can't phrase it correctly enough on google to figure out what i want.

    I'm trying to select the color of a field, and set the color of another field the same. Does that make sense?

    Any help is greatly appreciated guys.

    Thanks,

    Hello abgoosht,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    I assume by field you mean a cell on a worksheet. Are you wanting to do this manually?

    Do you want to change the background color of a cell? A range?
    Do you want to change the font color?
    When i hear the word "field" as it applies to excel i think of a column.

    Hello abgoosht,

    You don't need to select the cells at all. Without the period prefix on Cells, the default is the ActiveSheet.
