Hi,

No, sorry. You can change the font of any selection by selecting it, then
using the application.font method.

Sweet lady?
I'm going to avoid providing the obvious answer (i.e. just click on the
row) since I think you are trying to ask something else but I'm not sure
what it is. However, since you posted in the developer newsgroup I might
assume you want to do the highlighting with VBA. Now, highlight can mean
several things. If you are trying to color the background of all fields
in a row, sorry, Project does not have that feature. The best you can do
is to set the font characteristics for a row. For example the following
code will set the 2nd row of the current view to bold:

Sub Highlight()
SelectRow Row:=2, rowrelative:=False
Font Bold:=True
End Sub

Hope this helps.

THANKS everyone for ur input!!!!

John,

my question was more along the lines of .... changing the background color
of the row.
I didnt think that was possible.

I tried your code and it did not work--is there something else I should be
adding in?

Thanks,

Chuck,
Didn't work? That's pretty general. Unless I state otherwise I always
test code that I post so I know it works. Without further information
there are only a couple of thing I can think of that would cause the
user to think it didn't work.
1. Is the second row in the active view blank?
2. Is the second row in the active view a Summary Line which is already
bold?

Help me out here, then I can better help you.

I assumed that the code would highlight every other row in a project plan;
when I
ran the macro, it failed to do that. Maybe I was expecting something that
the code
is not written to do.

Chuck,
Why would you think that? I think I clearly stated that the sample code
"...will set the 2nd row of the current view to bold". However, I think
you are confusing your post in this newsgroup (developer) with the one
you placed in the main newsgroup (project). There I provide the code to
to what you want.
