Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Perhaps as you are using 2007 you need t qualify the ranges to the worksheet. Hope Dave3009 does not mind but I have changed his code a little for you to try & see if helps. You will need to change worksheet name to sheet name you are reffering to.

Dave

Sub popup()
Dim lstRow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim msg As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") '<CHANGE name required
rename as required

With ws
msg = "The following items are almost due" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
lstRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lstRow
If .Range("A" & i) - Date <= 3 Or .Range("A" & i) - Date < 0 Then
msg = msg & .Range("B" & i).Value & " due in " & .Range("A" & i) - Date & " Days" & vbCrLf
End If
Next i
End With
MsgBox msg
Call settimer
End Sub

Hi,
Above VBA is working fine with new sheet. However I face 2 problems, When VBA runs with my customised sheet/ workbook.

1. Customised Sheet1 (or any name) having follwong data-
Coloum D Coloum L Coloum M
Name of account Application Date Maturity Date
Date in Coloum M arrive through formulas =IF(L5="","",EDATE(L5,$I$2)-1)
When Macro run for Coloumn M, its shows error "Type mismatch".
 
2. When VBA run in new sheet or workbook, Popup Message window show result for limited Rows only. Can we increase the limit.

Can anyone help, Pls

Since your question relates to a specific comment in dave3009's post #3 within this thread, he suggests some code and I don't think you've not copied all of it, specifically the part highlighted in blue that relates to settimer. All of the code below needs to be in the same module:
Rich (BB code):
Sub popup()
Dim lstRow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim msg As String
msg = "The following items are almost due" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
lstRow = Range("A" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lstRow
    If Range("A" & i) - Date <= 3 Or Range("A" & i) - Date < 0 Then
        msg = msg & Range("B" & i).Value & " due in " & Range("A" & i) - Date & " Days" & vbCrLf
    End If
Next i
MsgBox msg
Call settimer
End Sub

Sub settimer()
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("02:00:00"), "popup"
End Sub
