I'm already thinking that way - Pick up on a task event in Outlook then use a
null scheduled task to wake the machine and trigger outlook when I'm away
from the machine for several days.

I'll sign off this thread with the thought expressed by my first wife that,
if you'll excuse the expression, "The pleasure you get from programming is
akin to mental masturbation!"

Thank-you K & R.


In this case have you considered writing the macro in Outlook? You can
schedule an outlook task to trigger the macro. Outlook VBA can open
workbooks very easily.
