Hi Keith, You can force the upper-case by using the 'UCase' VBA function on the 'Target' You can then remove the lower-case Cases.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Set I = Intersect(Target, Range("I9:AM58,I66:AM115,I124:AM173,I182:AM231,I240:AM289")) If Not I Is Nothing Then Select Case UCase(Target) Case "V": NewColor = 3 Case "E": NewColor = 33 Case "M": NewColor = 36 Case "S": NewColor = 4 End Select Target.Interior.ColorIndex = NewColor End If End Sub A simple way to allow mass deletions is to insert an error handling line: On Error Resume Next This effectively ignores errors, which seems to work for us in this case. Try this with mass deletions: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) On Error Resume Next Set I = Intersect(Target, Range("I9:AM58,I66:AM115,I124:AM173,I182:AM231,I240:AM289")) If Not I Is Nothing Then Select Case UCase(Target) Case "V": NewColor = 3 Case "E": NewColor = 33 Case "M": NewColor = 36 Case "S": NewColor = 4 End Select Target.Interior.ColorIndex = NewColor End If End Sub Hope this helps.
