Scenario- Communication plan on an excel spreadsheet, contains dates for reports to be sent out to project team and other stakeholders. A day before the due date for report, the project manager sends an email reminder for report to be sent out.

Question - Is there any way that Outlook picks up these dates from Excel spreadsheet to send reminder alerts to stakeholders?

This should be set up in SharePoint - workflow, timer jobs, alerts. Centralize the content, reduce email noise, and multiple versions of the document.

Hi Andrew,

you are absolutely right, as best this should be done with SharePoint, if available.
I have assumed (cause it was not mentioned) that we do not have SharePoint available here.

BTW: MP4PM will provide something similar (connections with Outlook, SharePoint and also other databases/SQL are possible), but this will need some additional time ... ;)

According to your budget and current software installation, many scenario can be consider
Some VBA code would be required!
Sharepoint is one solution, MS project can also link to Outlook to follow progress of the schedule!
