Can excel send reminder emails on dates entered in a wookbook?

My boss thinks that excel can generate an email on a date entered into a
workbook. For example I can insert a "trigger date" column and excel will
send her an email notice on the date I enetered.
Any truth to this? We use lotus notes.

Hi

If excel is always open it is possible with Ontime

You can check the date and run the mail code

See for lotus notes code

You can use the OnTime method to schedule a macro to be run. That
macro would then send the email. Excel must be kept up and
running the entire time. See www.cpearson.com/excel/ontime.htm
for more info about OnTime.
