I would like to be able to alarm the fact that a date has not been entered
into the cell before a set date. IE: We sent a Drawing for approval on
10-nov-07. This is placed in cell H-7. We expect to see a reply by 15-nov-07.
Can i use a fromula to alert me if this date is not inserted into cell H-8?

Do you want to set off the alarm if no date is entered at all, or if
the date is not entered until 15-nov-07?

If preset date would be H7 + 5 days.
open conditional formatting in H8 and
enter formula (not value):
=AND(H7+5<TODAY(),H8="")

then set the format to red, or whatever
you think is alarm.
