Validation & Worksheet_Change & Delete Multiple Selection Problem

I have a range of cells with dropdowns to select names supplioed from a list - that works great.

On the sheet containing those I have some Worksheet_Change code like this;

This code colours the cell with a colour from a lookup on another sheet (the colour associated with the selected staff name from the list. This works fine as well.

The problem comes if you select a group of these validated cells and then delete the contents using the Delete Key - the the code faults as I suppose it can't do the lookup.

1) Am I doing the coloring in the 'right' way ?
2) What can I do about the Delete Key problem ?
3) Any other ideas ?


Thanks for taking the time to read.

Thanks very much for that davesexcel - really useful code snippet.

Is there a way I can get the actual selection range to reuse - also is there a way to know what kind of action was carried out on the multiple selection, like delete or whatever ?

Thanks again for the input.

Thanks again, all sorted now
