Hi,
I dont even know if this question is logical, but I thought I'd give it a shot

If I save an excel file on any location in my computer, can it at a predefined date/time throw me a reminder ie:pop-up that it needs to be updated or something like that


Thanks
Arnold

Hi Tushar,
While this is excellent and really functional, is there any other way, reason being I need to send this file to people via email, I basically want a pop up (auto generated by excel) to remind them that the file needs to b populated and emailed back to me on a pre determined date/time

Like I mentioned I am not sure if this is a resonable expectation :-)

Thanks

That's an interesting idea but you cannot get someone else's computer to do something without their consent (or without hacking it). What you can do is create a reminder on your machine and then send them an email.
