Default DATE ALARM

Date differences can be computed using normal arithmetic. When you say "..
how close I'm getting..", getting close to what?

I guess you had better start searching ALL those books.....

Default DATE ALARM

Please drop the all caps.

You can use Conditional Formatting to give a cell a background color when the
date entered is near a pre-set date.

=E3$G$3-7 where G3 is pre-set date and E3 has the entered date.
