Default Audible Alarm Marco w/Pop-up Message

Hello,

I need to create a marco that will pop-up a text box indicating a task
needs to be completed every xMinutes after the hour and sound an
alarm.

I also need to have a macro that will pop-up a text box indicating a
task needs to be completed at a certain time every day and sound an
alarm.

All help is appreciated. If possible please provide VBA examples.

Thanks,

Paul

Paul, I found that Cute Reminder at http://www.cutereminder.com/ is much
better than using Excel for reminders.
