Change Color of Cell Comment Indicator
 

I would like to be able to change the color of the cell
comment indicator via programming (e.g. red, yellow, green
depending on severity of a particular comment). I see no
object reference to the color of the indicator nor have I
been able to come up with any workaround... any ideas out
there on how to do this?

I am very surprised that Excel would not give you the
ability to do this.

Disregard - I thought you meant the background color - somehow I missed the
Indicator part.
