automate opening each workbook, finding an email address in a1 and create
and send an email. i'd like for this to cycle through every workbook in the
folder. any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hi JLGWhiz!
Thanks for your response, i actually started on that page, but didn't find
anything there that fits what i'm trying to do exactly. I have 80 unopened
workbooks in the folder, what i was hoping to do was find a way to
automatically open each wb, find an email address, then create an email
attaching that wb and sending it.

unless, it's there and i am missing it.

Hi test this one
It will check cell a1of the first sheet of each workbook

Change this to your test folder with a few test files

MyPath = "C:\Users\Ron Desktop\test"

Change this to .Send if it is OK
.Display 'or use .Send




Sub Example()
Dim MyPath As String, FilesInPath As String
Dim MyFiles() As String, Fnum As Long
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim ErrorYes As Boolean
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object

'Fill in the path\folder where the files are
MyPath = "C:\Users\Ron Desktop\test"

'Add a slash at the end if the user forget it
If Right(MyPath, 1) < "\" Then
MyPath = MyPath & "\"
End If

'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub
FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.xl*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If

'Fill the array(myFiles)with the list of Excel files in the folder
Fnum = 0

End With

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

If Fnum 0 Then
For Fnum = LBound(MyFiles) To UBound(MyFiles)
Set mybook = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(MyPath & MyFiles(Fnum))
On Error GoTo 0

If Not mybook Is Nothing Then
If mybook.Worksheets(1).Range("A1").Value < "" Then

Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = mybook.Worksheets(1).Range("A1").Value
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.Body = "Hi there"
.Attachments.Add mybook.FullName
'You can add other files also like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
.Display 'or use .Send
End With

If Err.Number 0 Then
ErrorYes = True
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0
End If

Else
ErrorYes = True
End If

'Save and close mybook
mybook.Close savechanges:=False
Else
