Good day all,
I have a command button titled "LOW STOCK" on my userform, I want the back color of this button to switch between yellow and salmon when Cell G3 > 0 (Cell G3 contains number of products below stock minimum limit).
The blinking will prompt the user to click the button inorder to display (via a pop up message box) numbers of products having low stock.
I inserted the code below in Userform_Initialize, but excel freezes up and displays on the title bar "Excel is Not Responding". Please I'll be glad to know where I went wrong, thanks in advance.

Sub Userform_Initialize
Do while sheet1.Cells(3, 7) > 0
btnLowStock.Backcolor = RGB(255, 255, 0)
btnLowStock.Backcolor = RGB(255, 128, 128)
Loop
End Sub

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Hi there. What you have written will cause the initialize routine to loop endlessly, as the value of cells(3,7) will not change during the execution of this code. There are several solutions around already on this forum and others, here is one: https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/273087-flashing-commandbutton.html

Thanks jmcleary,
However, upon starting up the userform, the command button displays only the second color, but does not display the first. As a result of this there's no blinking. Further suggestion are still welcomed. Thanks.
