I'm starting to learn VBA but am not able to write this myself yet (aka I'm just starting to learn but have a working knowledge of SQL so I can interpret some but can't write it myself yet). I want to create automatic follow up reminders for myself for when I need to call someone back. I have the date of my last call with a person in column A, the contact name in B, and a follow up date in column F. When I put a date in F I would like for it to automatically set up an Outlook task for me with that date as the due date and the contact's name as the Subject plus "Follow up" so "John Smith Follow up". I don't need any reminders, just that follow up date as the due date.

Can someone show me what the code for this would look like?

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
