    Automatic Email or Reminder When Birthday is Approaching

    Hi,

    I need your help to create a Birthday reminder or an email to myself.

    Say I have a list of Birthdays and I want to be reminded 20 days in advance.

    I guess only if the excel is opened once a day will it be updated and can send an email (which i wont be doing). is there a way?

    Thanks in Advance !

    Jebindavidson,

    There is not a way to my knowledge, you would have to open excel for the program to run.
    have you thought about setting these dates up in outlook in the calendar? or Contacts?

    You could set up a windows task to run your workbook, I tested this method and it works very nice.
    You would also have to add a closing statement in your program to exit the excel workbook once your program has completed running.

    Here is a simple function that will get you started, it's not to elaborate just something I threw together.
    This is just something to give you an idea and you can branch off of it.

    As you mentioned before on adding to your startup or making a windows task, you would see this as it loaded up.
    Make sure you enable the macro's or it will not load correctly.

    As for your email comment, are you sure you want this to open up then send an email to yourself?
    Run the excel sheet and let me know what you think.
