Hi George

to make it change colours you can use Conditional Formatting - select your
dates - ensure that the first date is at the top (and visible) of your
worksheet
choose format /conditional formatting
choose formula is
type
=AND($A2=TODAY()-60,$A2<=TODAY())
where A2 is the first date in your range
click on Format
choose a formatting - background fill colours are under "pattern"
click OK twice

On my spread sheet I have a cell to indicate testing due dates - Is there
a
way to make that cell flash or change colors 60 days prior to the current
date ?
