....class"...

I am an Access Programmer who was asked to do conditional formatting for
more than 3 colors. I got code from Google that I modified to the code
below...it has worked well for maybe 2 years until Friday...See..."' THIS is
where it FAILS...

' THIS is where it FAILS...

ElseIf cell.Value >= 0.9 And cell.Value <> "" Then
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 4

Is this particular cell locked and the sheet protected, perhaps.

FWIW, the additional condition check - And cell.Value <> "" - would appear
redundant.

Peter T -

I agree on the redundant code.

Will have the User check the cell locked and protected sheet.

That was it.

Thanks again - Bob
