What formula would anybody use in excel 2003 to assign a cell or scattered
cells in a worksheet a flashing color (preferably yellow highlighter)?

You cannot use a formula to flash a cell.

You need VBA code.

See Chip Pearson's site for code.

If used properly and often you will be able to annoy many people.

Good luck.

Thank you Gord, at least this will get the attention on people with
past-due accounts.
