    How to turn cell white then change it automatically back to original colour

    Is there a way so that when the value or content of a cell is changed either manually or automatically it turns white for a few seconds then returns to its original column colour?

    I have only been able so far to turn the changed cell white then return it to a single standard default colour. However each column has its own colour and this quite quickly becomes problematic.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    The code looks right for what I need however I cannot get it to work on my spreadsheet. Its stating incompatability with my 64 bit system. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I'm not sure. I too have a 64 bit system. Using Win 7, Excel 2010.

    I have tried it a few ways but the following message keeps appearing.

    Compile error:

    The code in this project must be updated for use on 64-bit systems. Please review and update Declare statements and then mark with the PtrSafe attribute.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks

    Are you creating a new module and pasting the code in it?
    Paste the entire error:

    The code in this project must be updated for use on 64-bit systems. Please review and update Declare statements and then mark with the PtrSafe attribute.

    into a search engine and see what helps. When I did, I followed some of the suggestions and nothing came up as an error with any changes.

    I have tried that and still no luck. Could you post the code again if possible?

    Thanks

    Done. Changed a piece of the code to suit my system. Now is working fine.

    Thanks very much.
