Can I make some thing happen if I get a "reminder"

[BruceJ]

Is there a way, that when I have a reminder come up, that I can perform a
FUNCTION?
How about if I have a trigger word or something in the reminder, can I make
it do something?

Is there a way I can have EXCEL watch these and perform a function?

I am working in Excel, but I am using Outlook to keep track of my
appointments and such. My contacts are in Excel, and I am using Excel to do
all of my followups/etc, But, is there a way I can "tie" the calendar with
Excel for my appoint ments and such?

Thanks
Bruce

Hi Bruce

This takes a little macro programming. At least on my Office2000 setup, I am
not familiar with the brand new version and its brand new Outlook.

Dick Kusleika has good things on Excel-Outlook at

and for general Office automation, I suggest you start at

Outlook 2002 and 2003 have a Reminder event that can be trapped and in
the event handler you can call any functions you want or use whatever
code you want. Some example code is shown in the Help for the Object
Browser for the Reminder event.
