G'Day

I have a spreadsheet, that contains dates, and item "to do list" per that
date. I am looking for a method to have that information updated into MS
Outlook Calendar, such that when the date from the spreadsheet arrives, MS
Outlook will give me a 'pop-up' notification window that the event date has
arrived. I wish to have this information automatically updated into MS
Outlook Calendar, every time the spreadsheet is closed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have worked with VBA in Excel
for quite a while, so I am not new to its structure, however, I have never
tried to manipulate Outlook.
