[DianneZ]

I would like to create a message dialog box that reminds me of who is
working remotely on a given weekday. Mary works remotely on Monday, ted on
Tuesday etc.
How can this be done custom field? with text formula? or vb code

Dianne,
This is probably a whole lot tougher to do than you might think. First
of all, Project isn't very flexible when it comes to custom graphics,
and that's pretty much what you are asking.

Forget about a custom field with a formula. That won't cut it. It would
be possible with VBA but developing the code would be challenging to say
the least.

How is the "remote" effort indicated? Is there a spare field or some
other criteria that defines remote work? If a whole task is done
remotely, then you could probably get close to what you want by
filtering on assignment rows of the Resource Usage view. The details
would need to be worked out.
