Hi Chris.

To answer your question, yes, but you will most likely have to write a custom timer job for sharepoint. Here is a good article that tells you how.

www.andrewconnell.com/.../CreatingCustomSharePointTimerJobs.aspx

In saying this, I must admit that I would not solve this particular problem in this fashion. I think a better way would be to write a workflow and attach it to the task list. You should be able to do this either in SPD or VS 2008.

Hi,

Would it be possible to send alerts when an overdue task occurred using a timer job?

Thanks

Chris
