ExcelBanter - date in Cell to change colors if the date is beyond today's date

Hi,

Please enter a quesion in the body of your emai; if you don't the web won't
let us reply, instead it displays the following error message.

"An error occurred while sending your post

We're sorry, but there was a problem with the system and your post was not
received. The error has been reported to Operations and will be investigated
as soon as possible. Please try again later."

This means, that to respond we need to start a separate thread - which is a
bad practice and wastes time.

To post the first response I needed to switch to an email package and then
to come back here I needed to switch back to IE.
