I am trying to create a data base for training. I would like to place a date
for which some one attended a course in cell C3 and then when a refresher is
required the date of for which the qualfication is due to expire will appear
in cell F3. however I would like the cell to remain blac until 3 months
before it is due.

E.G.
Cell C3 contains 25 March 07 and the qualification required a yearley
refresher. Therefore in December 07 I would like the date 25 March 08 to
appear reminding me a refresher course is due.

When the date passes if the due date passes I would then like the words
OVERDUE to appear.

I did get some usefull advice however I cant seem to get it to work.
Thank you

how about in B1 is the current date, C3 is the date the course was taken and
in F3 is a reminder that you want to show about a year later if C3 and B1 are
3 months or more apart. Put the dates in B1, C3 and the formula in F3 of
=if(b1-c3<90,"",c3+365)
issues - may be a Sat or Sun , this does not capture leap year, and 90 days
may be different than 3 month?
short cut though

good luck

the TRUE says to me the formula has something wrong, check to make sure you
have comma's and double quotes right
