How do I shade cells during selection?

[Guest]

I am trying to shade cells only when they are selected unless I specify them
to be shaded all the time. Is this possible?
I am using Excel 2003

'McCurdy.Here is something inspired by Don Guillett.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim MyRng As Range
Set MyRng = Target.EntireRow
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo end1
Application.Cells.FormatConditions.Delete
With MyRng
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
"=ROW()=ROW(INDIRECT(CELL(""address"")))"
With .FormatConditions(1).Font
.Bold = True
.Italic = False
.ColorIndex = 1
End With
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End With
end1:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
