Project deadline alert

Hi Dan

Thank you for your question - VBA could probably do this for you - unfortunately though VBA is outside the scope of this forum.

An alternative would be to use the built in deadline feature in MS Project. It doesn't generate a pop up box but it will indicate if a task is running later than a date that is important to you.

To set this up in your project double click your final Launch task. On the advance tab set the deadline date to the "Deadline conveyed to management" date. An arrow shaped marker will appear in the schedule on the same line as the launch task. It points at the deadline date you set. Now if the launch task is delayed beyond the deadline date a red diamond shape indicator will appear beside the task's row to alert you.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
