I have a spreadsheet that tracks the processing of orders from creation to
shipment. At one point in the process, I have to fax shipping notifications.
The date this must be done depends on the state where the order is being
shipped. First, can I simply set up Excel to send me an email reminder to
fax the notification? Second, if the reminder can be done, can I specify
when to send it based on state regulations? For example, one state might
require a 2-day notification while another requires a 5-day notification.
How difficult would it be to customize the reminders (assuming it can be done
in the first place) to the requirements of the respective state?

You can do it by using Microsoft Outlook instead of Outlook Express.
Microsoft Outlook has the functionality of SCHEDULE AND REMINDERS and you
can also write comments with the reminder.

Hi Abdul,

Our company doesn't use Microsoft Outlook. We use Lotus Notes. Is there a
way to do this with any email address but not with Outlook?

Thanks,
Jim
