Highlight duplicate values in excel if adjacent cell in previous column is blank.

Zones: Spreadsheet Software, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, VB Script

Tags: Microsoft, excel, 2003, Highlight rows when duplicate value exists in cell of the selected column.

I have a spreadsheet which has 5 columns of data. One column contains duplicate values. I have a Macro which highlights cells, which contain duplicate values in column D, but need code to highlight whole row rather than individual cell, but only if adjacent cell in column C is blank. Many Thanks, Nick
