I am using the Today function on several worksheets (same cell address)
in a workbook file. I also have due dates listed in various locations
on all of the worksheets within the workbook.

Is it possible to write code that can compare each due date with the
system date, and if the information is due today or is past due,
display a message box?

I will be most appreciative of any help or direction someone might
offer. This one has me stumped.

Thanks,
Karen

are you talking about manually running a macro that will check the dates?

If you just want to mark them, look at Data=Validation.

Thanks for replying Tom. I want the dates checked when the file is
opened, and a message to display if the due dates are = Current Date.
Is that possible?

Karen,
In the ThisWorkbook module you can use a Workbook_Open even
handler.
When the workbook opens it will run any code you have there. Put you
code to loop through all the worksheets on in ThisWorkbook (use a Fo
Each Worksehet in ThisWorkbook loop) and check your due date agains
'Date'. The example assumes your due date is in Range A1. If your du
date ends up in a different cell on each worksheet then this wil
complicate things.


Code
-------------------
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim wks As Object
For Each wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If wks.Range("A1") <= Date Then
wks.Activate
wks.Range("A1").Select
MsgBox "This project is overdue!"
End If
Next wks
End Sub

I think this will do the job! The fact that you included the sample
code was the BEST! Thank you so much for your assistance.
