BrewManNH Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Here's one way of doing it. ' select the top row A through J objExcel.Range("A1:J1").Select ' Set the background color to index #4 (light green) objExcel.Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 4 ' set solid background color pattern objExcel.Selection.Interior.Pattern = 1 ' set the text color to index #1 (black) objExcel.Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 1 This is a VBScript which is easy to convert to AutoIt. EDIT: BTW, the index colors are here http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/excel/colors.htm Edited September 3, 2014 by BrewManNH If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted September 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) @OP, if you did truly mean TintAndShade, I have never seen it done on a cell; I usually use it only if I am drawing a shape of some sort. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.excel.interior.tintandshade(v=office.15).aspx Edited September 3, 2014 by JLogan3o13 "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
