in outlook you'd use a recurring task - it would be regenerated daily.

if you want it on the calendar, you could use excel to create count down
appointments.

I would like a daily reminder for "counting down" to particular date.
After I
click on the reminder it should not reappear till the next day and
decrement
by 1. I tried doing this by inserting a spreadsheet in the comments part
but
the countdown aspect does not automatically update. The Spreadsheet used
the
formula " = Specified Date - Today ()" It works correctly but will not
update
automatically in Outlook . Any suggestions or an easier Outlook only way
of
doing this. Thanks.

I am using Outlook 2007 in Vista Ultimate environment.
