[mso] Re: Excel 2000 - Use of Cell Formatting in Formula

The first question has a solution in VBA, using the change event of the
worksheet. I've posted an example file for how to use the change event
in the Excel VBA group - you can learn more here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ExcelVBA/

I've read your second question a couple of times and I'm not sure I
understand it. Want to have another go?

Subject: [mso] Excel 2000 - Use of Cell Formatting in Formula


Evening all...
...here is a re-post because I don't think my original hit the system (I
never received a copy on posting).

At work we use Excel 2000 whilst at home I have Office XP - what I need
to do is incorporate cell formatting in a formula - can it be done?

I have in Column A, cells which will contain either the Letter 'A', 'B'
or are completely empty except for the validation statement and I need
to be able to switch on or off cell locking in two other cells, If the
letter 'B' is input the dependant cells need to be locked - so to give
an example:

Contents of Cell A1 = 'B' then cells B2:B3 need to be locked;
conversely, if cell A1 holds 'A' or is completely empty (with exception
of validation) cells B2:B3 need to be unlocked.

Further to this problem i now have another....

Not having used Visual Basic, can a Macro or Visi-Basic script be used
which will enable users of a dependant Workbook clear cells in another
Workbook when that Workbook it is  open or closed?

I would appreciate your collective help - please

Best wishes for the Festive Season.

Regards,

Dave
