Hi Alex, Have a look at the attached. I have assumed by the syntax of your original code that you are useing XL2007, so I've used that too.
One sheet does what you want by macro, while the second sheet does it with coditional formatting. The second sheet has the advantage of being active, in that the colours will change instantly if a cell in Col B becomes blank or non-blank. In the first sheet you have to run the macro again, or change it to an event macro. Regards - Dave.
