Okay, so iv'e made a stew, enough for 2 or 3 days. Is it safe to heat it in a microwave as and when, over the next couple of days.
Thanks in advance.

You should be ok under refrigeration. I would heat it in a pot, though, on top of stove, to be sure to get all bacteria killed that may have dived into the stew.
I typically make several servings of stew, soup, and other veggie mixes and use quart to 1/2 gallon ziplock bags to freeze enough for a meal, then remove and heat up as I need it. Usually by the third day, stew or any dish gets old, so I usually make more of whatever I am cooking from scratch and freeze the rest. That gives a better choice, especially on the 3rd day, and cuts down on prep. times.

I don't know about the microwave thing.
When I keep a stew up to a week and my husbands older relatives even longer, it is kept with a tight lid on the stove and brought back to boiling every day.

When you make a pot of stew make sure that your let it cool and then put in the fridge you can then have a much as you require and heat in the microwave make sure its really hot when served.

Stew will stay good being reheated for about 5 days, unless you freeze some and in that case it is good for probably a month.

Yes, but only heat up what you will eat at that time. Keep the rest refrigerated. After 3 days, ptich it.

It will be just fine over that time period. Why not also freeze some for much later use too?

IF IT'S KEPT IN THE FREEZER IT WOULD STAY PRESERVED
MUCH LONGER AND IT CAN BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, BUT
THAT TAKES OUT THE NUTRIENTS AND FLAVOR.
I WOULD SUGGEST, FREEZE IT, THAW IT, REHEAT IT, NATURALLY.......... GOOD TASTING............
