Thanks for the answer. I thought that might be the case.

Excel can send an email, but you need to program it in Visual Basic, and

I have a conditional format linked to a calender that will change the cell

I would like to know if it is possible to get ecxel to send an email when
the cell date is current with todays date as well so it will let me know
without opening the file.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
