I have an upcoming vacation and I would like to be able to countdown to it in
outlook, so I can look forward to it while at work. Does anyone know of a way
to do this? Thank you.

You can post this to a programming group or use groups.google.com to see if
a previous post had the solution.

I created a spreadsheet with the date and a subject of "x Days until" - when
you drag down the column, excel adjusts the number and the date. Then I
imported it.
