Did you read the section " Returning the ColorIndex of a cell" in the web
page I gave you?

No VBA or color number required:
Edit Find Find what: clear it if filled
Options Format.. Choose Format from Cell
Click any red cell Find All
The number of cells will appear in the lower left
corner of the Find window.

Versions earlier than 2003 do not have this function.

Also, if the cells are colored due to Conditional Formatting it won't work.

Apologies Herbert

I have not used 2002 for a couple of years so I guess I forgot 2002 had that
function.
