Date monitoring on a custom object

Hi,
I would like to monitor a date field in a custom object and generate an alert - X days before that date. For example, in a Project Management custom object, I would like to generate an alert 7 days before a scheduled project milestone.

Is it possible using SalesForce.com technology - without using any external server/coding? Does SF.Com have any plans to provide such a facility in near future?

Thanks in advance,

Right, you can't set that up today and I don't recall seeing this on the roadmap.  We are launching a bunch of new workflow capabilities in our upcoming release though that may work for you.
