Default Alarm timer in Excel

Hi, I have a spreadsheet written to calculate time intervals during a judging
night. There are several sessions of judging each of which has several items
to be judged. The idea is that each session of judging be given a time
interval based on the number of items to judge. The objective is to have the
judge finish each of the judging sessions by a fixed time (real time that
is). I have the spreadsheet working so that you enter the start time, the
finish time, the number of items in each session and the number of sessions
to be judged. All works OK.

What I would like to have happen is to ring an alarm (make a sound if
possible) to say that the judging time for a particular event has elapsed. In
other words, we know the start time, we know the time allowed for the judging
for that session, what we want is an alarm to ring after start + judging time.

I'm not very experienced with VBasic and hope to be able to (say) run a
macro attached to a button and simply dump the code into there.

Hope someone can help

Regards, Bob Cook
