1.  How do I identify a fill color for a cell so that I can match the text
to the color to hide it?  Is there a beter way to hide the text so that it
is
not visble?

record a macro while changing the color of the cell. it will then show the
number in the editor

2.  A lot of times when I ask for help on a code, you use 'Me'.  For example
'Me.commandbutton2.enabled = ok'.  What is Me?  I don't use it and it seems
to work fine.

the me points to the specific userform where the commandbutton2 is located.  
could use userform1.commandbutton2.enabled = ok

something like this

Sub Macro1()

   With Selection.Interior
       .ColorIndex = 6
'yellow collor
       .Pattern = xlSolid

  Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 6

   End With
End Sub
