Messages in Excel

[wallbanger999]

I am using excel 2007 for a work project and I am trying to keep track of names and dates, can a message come up on the scree when a date in the column of cells is almost due for review.
can someone explain how I may even think about trying to set something like this up
Thanks

If conditional formatting (You could make such almost due row highlighted for instance in yellow) is not enough you can use a short macro to do it.
Macro shall probably run automatically every time you open the workbook, so serve as Workbook open event handler.
Or may be - worksheet activate? A lot in it's design will depend on your data layout.

But honestly most cases I'd say conditional formatting shall be enough.
