I've used Excel to build a master resource calendar, including human,
facilities and time resources. I want to be able to send a reminder through
outlook as a task reminder rather than an e-mail to people who have
assignments at specific times.

Karen,

I'm pretty sure you can (haven't tested it).

If you are familiar with creating VBA code (macros) and using the Outlook
object model, you should be able to do exactly what you are talking about.

Check out one of Ron de Bruin's pages on using the Outlook object model:
http://www.rondebruin.nl/mail/folder3/smallmessage.htm

Personally, I would use the "Early Binding" he talks about at the very
bottom of the page.

Instead of using "olMailItem", use "olTaskItem" and use "TaskItem" in place
of "MailItem"

HTH,

Conan
