I am current using the blink text code found at www.cpearson.com but I would
like to make it so that if I were to change a value in a cell that it would
then start blinking. So for example: If cell A1 changes to 80% or lower
then make A1 start blinking. Also, I would like to make the cell's fill
color blink from white to red and not the text (this is not as crititcal).
Any help on this would be great.

Thanks in advance!

First modify Pearson's code to blink interior rather than font:

Public RunWhen As Double
Sub StartBlink()
If Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then
Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexAutomatic
Else
Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "StartBlink", , True
End Sub
Sub StopBlink()
Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexAutomatic
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "StartBlink", , False
End Sub


Then in worksheet code enter:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Cells(1, 1).Value < 0.8 Then Call StartBlink
End Sub

REMEMBER worksheet code

Thanks! Is there also a way to increase the rate the blinking occures?
