I have a Sharepoint 2007 Announcement List which have an Expiry Date for every Item ..

I have really tried too much in this, but I came up short. I want to send an alert when an Item or Announcement when it Expires (on Expiry Date). Is there is anyway I can do it, cause it is not in the Alert options provided.

I don't think it is possible OOB. You can do it by writing custom code either in a timerjob or a workflow, which will look for expired announcements and send a mail to the intended users.

Thanks for the Reply. Any Idea how to do that .. – 7oooda Feb 5 at 9:57
Here are the steps for the timerjob: Look for the announcement which are going to expire today (Use CAML Query). Send a mail (SPUtility.SendMail) to the intentded users about the item getting expired. Finally schedule the job to run daily. However, if you are not comfortable with Timer jobs, create a console application with above logic and schedule it to run daily using task scheduler. – Nadeem Yousuf Feb 5 at 10:04
