Excel as Wallpaper

[That's Confidential]

What I am after is to create a desktop wallpaper, which will count down how
many days I have 'til certain events! So, my desktop wallpaper would read
something like:-


Holidays 10 days to go!
Graduation 22 days to go!
Pay Day 16 days to go!

Obviously, I would want the wallpaper to automatically work out how many
days left, by actually recognising what todays date is. I would then enter
the days when the events happen, and the spreadsheet works the days left out
for me. Is it possible to create this with Excel??? Is it also possible to
then set this as a wallpaper which automatically updates daily?

Is it possible to create this with Excel???

Might be. I saved a sheet as a web page then plonked it on my desktop. If
you look around, you could probably find a workround for refreshing
manually. But I feel this is overkill/inappropriate. If you have Outlook,
it'll do this ; if not, you should check ZDNet or TuCows for a freeware
reminder app.

Rgds,

I have a nifty little shareware "countdown 97" that works really well.

Not a wallpaper but only a double click away. It counts down to the second.

Makes Monday mornings more bearable.

If you would like I will send. I will have to zip it first since it is a
".exe" file and the virus software goes crazy.
