These steps are needed:

1. Place a call to the macro in question in the ThisWorkbook Module, inside the Workbook_Open event:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
SendReminderNotices
End Sub

2. Make sure there is some code that closes Excel when the macro is done (don't forget to save the file first, otherwise Excel remains open).

3. Make sure the file is saved with macros (xlsm or xlsb filetype).
4. Open the file and enable macros so it is added to your list of trusted files (this has to be done using the same user login as the one which is going to run the scheduler!!!)
5. Now schedule the file to be opened with Excel.
