Then the macro I provided will do as desired whenever cell f41 is changed.
if placed in the ThisWorkbook module

You may want to try this one instead of the one I provided earlier

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Or Target.Address <> Sh.Range("f41").Address Then Exit Sub
Set mf = Sh.Range("g41:g68").Find(What:=Target, LookIn:=xlValues, _
        LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
        MatchCase:=False)
If Not mf Is Nothing Then Sh.Tab.ColorIndex = 4
End Sub

I have a differing date range (G41:G68) in a number of sheets.

e.g. Sheet 1 ("1") 04/11/11 - 1/12/11, Sheet 2 ("2") 02/12/11 -
28/12/11 etc

What I want to do is colour the sheet tab which contains todays date
which is provided in F41 of each sheet.

Hi,

Using the above code I'm trying to colour worksheet tabs, determined
by whether (or not) the value F41 appears in the range G41:G68.

NB. the values are dates. I would also like to run this Macro on all
sheets within my workbook i.e not just sheet "1".

Any help very much appreciated.

Ed.
