Well, that's a horse of a completely different color:-)
Excel doesn't have any sort of notification feature built in. You can
easily
have a message appear in a cell with a simple formula such as:
=IF(A1=TODAY(), "Send Email","")
Something like that can also be built on for higher visibility. I'm sure
there are other possibilities as well, but whether that's sufficient for
your requirement I'm not sure.
In order to get anything to "pop up" there would have to be some sort of
code involved. Excel 2008 doesn't sup****t VBA, so it would have to be done
with Apple Script or XLM, but I'm not sure whether either will do
something
like that. Perhaps one of the others around here can provide an answer -
writing code isn't my strong suit:-)
As for any interaction between Excel & Entourage, I've never had reason to
investigate it. That's also something I'll leave to someone else and you
might get ideas if you post to the Entourage group.
You can set the reminder in E'rage, of course, and you can also do
something
similar through the Project Gallery from the other apps in the suite. The
tricky part is automating the interaction between 2 separate programs.
