unique macro
Instead of flashing or blinking (which can be dangerous for some users, and irritating to others), you can use conditional formatting to make the cell stand out - you can change the cell's font style, fill color and/or borders.
It's possible, but I still strongly recommend against it. It would require VBA code to run every second or so, and this will most likely interfere with the normal operation of the workbook.
I will heed your advice. However, just for my curiosity, what would the macro look like? If it's not unreasonable to send it, can you send it to me?
See the attached demo workbook. There is code in three places:
- In the standard module Module1
- In the worksheet module of Sheet1
- In the workbook module ThisWorkbook
One of the side effects that you'll notice is that you'll be asked to save the workbook each time you close it even if you didn't change anything.
