Insert the following event macro in the worksheet code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink)
ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub

The macro will work if the hyperlinks were Inserted rather than =HYPERLINK()

Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

I have hyperlinks going from sheet 1 to descriptions in sheet 2. What I want
to happen is when I click on the hyperlink in sheet 1 that it will highlight
the cell in sheet 2 as yellow or some other colour. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.
