Hi,

I had alot of help yesterday from Jacob with the following macro, but am
getting a 'run time error 13' when trying to run the macro, and i cannot see
why.

Any help much appreciated

Sub OLApp()

Dim objOL As Object, objApp As Object, lngRow As Long

Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

For lngRow = 9 To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
If Range("E" & lngRow) = "" Then
Set objApp = objOL.CreateItem(1)
With objApp
..Subject = "Change Password for system" & Range("A" & lngRow)
..Start = Range("B" & lngRow)
..ReminderPlaySound = True
..Save
End With
Range("E" & lngRow) = "Done"
End If
Next
Set objOL = Nothing
End Sub

Please ignore, i have worked it out.

Thanks

Check your other post.

I dont see any reason why that should give an error.

I do have another question though.

Is there a way to automatically clear the colum 'E' if something in colom
'C' is changed?

Sorry i was being stupid again like yesterday! I simply had to change the
line .Start = Range("B" & lngRow) to the correct column!

Sorry!

How does this work? How do i make it as an event macro?

copy it as written into 'thisworkbook' section
(without the dashes lol)

its an event macro because it triggers on an event - in this case
worksheet_change so every time that event happens this code will run,

it checks if anything in column c changed (intersect(target,[C:C]) is
nothing) and if it has clear columns(5) (which is e)

It doesn't seem to be working at the moment. I have copied it into the This
Workbook section, and moved the other macro into the Sheet1 section.

Is this something obvious i am doing wrong? Do you need to see both bits of
code?

yeah, sorry - I responded to your question without looking at micky's code

the following works for me (when placed in thisworkbook)

Private Sub Workbook_sheetChange(ByVal sh As Object, ByVal Source As Range)
If Application.Intersect(Source, [C:C]) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Columns(5).ClearContents
End Sub

That works to clear the entire column, but isn't quite what i need.

The sheet is to store passwords, then there is a macro to add appointments
into outlook for the date the password needs changing. Therefore, in column
'A' starting at row 9 there is a list of system names. Then in column 'D'
starting in row 9 again is the date that the password expires, and this is
added to the calendar. Column 'E' is simply there as a way to stop duplicate
entries in the calendar. So what i want is for example if the system in A12
password expires, it will then be changed and the new expiration date will be
input into D12, so i only want E12 to be cleared.

Is there some way to do this, or is it to complicated?

Thanks for your help

Well its possible but still unclear -

How does data get into E2
what data is it - does it need to be preserverd, is there a formula or
validation to worry about?

I will try to describe as best as i can!

Starting in Column A9 downwards there will be a list of system names that
will updated by the user. From B9 downwards is the new password the user
enters. C9 downwards is the date the user changed the password, which again
is enetered by the user. Cell D9 will be locked, but is basically the formula
=C9+30, and will display the date the password will need changing. This date
is used by the macro to add the appoinment into outlook calendar. Cell E9 is
filled in automatically by my original macro which, once the appoinment has
been added, is filled in with 'Done'.

So when cell C9 date is changed, i want cell E9 to clear, so that when i run
the macro to add appoinments, which will be as a button, it will spot that a
cell in column E is empty and add that appointment

I suggest you modify your macro to clear column e when it sets up
appointments and column e says 'done'

Dan Wood,
You are best off using Mickey's code, or a variation of it, in the worksheet
code module of the sheet you are interested in. To put any
Private Sub Worksheet_event()
code into a worksheet, simply choose it and right-click on its name tab and
choose [View Code] from the list. That brings up that specific sheet's code
module for use.

If you use the ThisWorkbook object code and the
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange()
event, the code will work on EVERY sheet that a change is made on as
indicated in the code unless you test to see which sheet had the change
within the code.

Ok i will try that. Is there a way then to get cell E9 to fill when cell C9
is changed?

Thanks for all your help with this

Try the below..

Select the sheet tab which you want to work with. Right click the sheet tab
and click on 'View Code'. This will launch VBE. Paste the below code to the
right blank portion. Get back to to workbook and try out.


Dim varData As Variant
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 3 Then
If varData < "" And varData < Target.Value Then
Target.Offset(, 2).ClearContents
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
varData = Target.Value
End Sub
