You won;t do this out of the box.<br />
<br />
I am not sure I would use a workflow though as it would then be visible to users.<br />
<br />
This is very much a background process which only interacts with users when an email is to be sent.<br />
<br />
I think the best approach would be to use a custom SPTimerService object that polls the list looking for items and sends the emails.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Custom List in a SharePoint Services 3.0 which contains a date field.<br />
This date field is an expire date for a contract (this may be one or two years in the future)<br />
I would like the system to send an email two weeks before the expire date of the contract.<br />
Normally I would use a workflow that triggers when a new item is added or modified, but I need the system to do a daily check thru all the records in the list and email if any of the dates falls within two weeks from Today.<br />
Can this be done in WSS 3.0?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

Reminders on Sharepoint 3.0

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.
