conditional formatting

[Chris]

I am using Excel 2000 and I'm wondering if there is a way to have more than
three arguments in the conditional formatting. I have a "calendar" that has
employee's names and the days they have taken time off .and I would like to
highlight a few of the names for the whole yaer without having to search for
each name. Any suggestions??

Tahnk you

Chris,

The pasted section below is Bob Phillips' answer to the same question a while ago (I just do the copy/pasting)

++++++++++++++++++

I want to use more than 3 conditions, I know that there is a way to use VBA
to do this but I have no idea of how to use vba. What I have is a list
contained in a cell from which the user picks a word and I want each word to
have an associated colour appear in another cell. I cant seem to understand
how the VB codes are supposed to work so i have not been able to adapt them
from other users suggestions

I cannot use the tool in www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.CFPlus as Im not
allowed to download it, also multiple users will need to use the s/sheet


What I need to do is when a user selects
"On track" in the list the corresponding cell in the work sheet needs to
turn green
"completed" needs to be blue
"overdue" needs to be red
"late" needs to be red
"problem" needs to be red
"Agreed" needs to be purple
"confirmed" needs to be purple

would greatly appreciate any help

Frist I'd like to thank you for your time and the code but I have a problem
with it. I know very little VB. I keep getting a compile error: Ambiguous
name detected: xlColorIndex
