    hourly reminder

    Hi,I'm not sure that I'm in right section.What I'm looking for is hourly reminder.At work I have few cut off hours where something has to be done befor that time.I was thinking to set up a pop up message 15min before due time.Everyday mon-fri this same hours.I tried to do it on my own but as confident I am that I can do it,my knowledge stopped me at the start of that task.Could someone point me in the direction where to get information that will help me to solve this?Thank you.

    Although can you not just use a calender to give you reminders (a recurring appointment in outlook perhaps?)

    Press alt+F11 to enter vba editor, insert a new module (insert->module) and enter the code.

    Place the cursor on this line:
    application.ontime "macro_1", "15:45:00"
    and press F5.

    This will set the code to pop-up the message box at 15:45:00.

    I would suggest doing some research into the ontime method and macros so you understand how they work before using it for your work.
