*i need help! is it possible to create any alert (pop-up messages
email, etc) in an excel file uploaded in a certain network?

the file contains a specific column of info, which has correspondin
due dates and contact person/s. i have to create an alert when
certain date listed in that excel file arrives and send that alert t
the person concerned. that contact person is also listed in the file
the alert could be in the form of a pop-up in his specific PC or a
automated email alert.

or is there an alternative, such as creating a new program for this
any suggestion would be GREATLY appreciated. im getting prett
desperate. thanks a lot!!!!* :eek

Microsoft Outlook is designed to do these things by scheduling Tasks for
people and using pop-up Reminders.

i understand, but those who will be using this spreadsheet want a way
that there would be no need to create a schedule in outlook. its kinda
dumb actually. could i create an html form and from there find a
javascript that would scan the dates saved and automatically create an
alert? thanks for the reply by the way!
