Hi Nabarajs3,

Without experience in VB, things could get confusing.

This is a simple code which runs when the workbook is opened:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "You just got reminded"
End Sub

How to implement:
When running Excel hit Alt+F11 to open VB. Look on the left side of the window that just opened. Here you will find your sheets as well as ThisWorkbook. Double click ThisWorkbook and paste the code in the big white field.

Now save and close Excel. Open your file again and a message box will appear.

To change you reminder message you can go to VB again or you can put your message in a cell and use the following code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
End Sub

Best regards,
Trowa
