I posted this earlier in the week but unfortunately the fixes proposed did not work.

I have a cell with a due date which i want to alert me by changing colour when the date is reached.
EG. date due is 1/1/03,so i want the cell to turn red on that date. If possible i would also like a pre alert of say 5 days before this time by turning green.

Thanks

Hi

These many ways to do this maybe the simplist way would be to look at the conditional fromatting of the cell or range of cells, format to RED fill if greater than the date you want,
