Calendar or Task function in Outlook 2003

I have a user that needs some help in the Calendar function of Outlook. Or it might be a Task function. Here is what she needs to accomplish:
I have a task that I'm hoping you can help me to determine if I can do this easily…
The Marketing Managers have IMPORTANT deadlines they have to meet for etc, etc, etc. Is there a way that I can prompt my computer to send out a daily reminder as to how many days are left to each deadline? Or, should I set it up as assigned tasks and, if I do set it up that way, can I set it to give a countdown?

So is this possible. Thanks!

:devil: now there's a surprise, marketing people cannot count! :devil:

$20 gets you remind-me
