Popup Reminder in Excel That Beeps and Speaks - Very Useful

If you spend long hours on Excel then this project will be extremely useful for you: It will enable you to create a Reminder that pops up on time, reads a custom message aloud and displays the custom message in a message box.
You can either follow along and create it from scratch , or simply copy the code and paste it into your visual basic editor, without ANY Knowledge of VBA.
You can copy the code from the link here below:

Guys, you need to delete some of the texts Mr Nabil added into the VBA script in his website, to match the one you saw in the video. Some double apostrophe may need to change to your keyboard type of double apostrophe. after i have tried those, it had work perfectly! Cant say enough thanks to Mr Nabil. wassalam.

EDIT: Okay, I figured it out....BUT now I'm having the issue of the script not running after I run a different macro script in the same excel. Do I have to run the macro every single time after I run a different macro, IS there a way around this?

Also may i know if it can set date together with time? Or it can only used for the actual day or may a way to run by the listed time & date frame, instead of only for 1 reminder for each clicking?
