need to make a cell flash when it gets to a certain level on a spread sheet

Please don't. It's hard to do and even harder to look at!
Just use Format|Conditional Formatting to make the cell red

Bob, it would only be an abomination if I used it in the "prepared by Lambs"
cell, thereby taking all the credit for your and all the MVPs' assistance.

Brooko, thanks for asking the question. Now, where else can I put my name up
in lights..?

Disagree mate, flashing text is an annoying distraction at best, it may even
be illegal in some countries.

The only wat I know to make a cell flash is a macro that changes the
text colour or the background colour or text style.

If you want a macro for this then you will need to list the paramaters
eg what cell/s
what to change
how ong
what triggers the flashing
what stops the flashing
