What problems are you having? The line you posted looks fine.

More information is needed.

when im typing it up in edit plus....the closing '?>' doesnt seem to be the same colour as the opening '<?php'....Editplus notifies by colour if code has been closed and opened by using colour.....also the start of '<a href' also looks like it isnt being recognised as the '<' is colourless.....

Forgetting the syntax colouring, does it look OK in a browser?

Most syntax wont look correct if it appears inside and echo tag.  Especially HTML code.

Try it like this:
[code]
<?php

if ($_SESSION['Level']=="Admin") {
?>
<a href='add_contactuser1.php'><font color='#000099' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Add User</font>[/url]<font color='#000099' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>
<?
}
?>
[/code]

Malcerous has it right, but your original code should work fine too.

Edit Plus just sees a '<' symbol and looks for the next '>' symbol, which it treats as the end of the tag. Any additional '<' symbols in between will be seen as text rather than as a new tag.

So when you type

<?php echo "<A Href='foo'>" ?>

...edit plus sees this as a tag:

[color=red]<?php echo "<A Href='foo'>[/color]

...and this as faulty syntax: [color=blue]" ?>[/color]

iow, it's not php- or javascript-ready program. If you want it to show your tags properly, close the php tag before starting your html, like Malcerous did.
