Macro problem: Won't send messages
 

Hello,

I have a macro that is pulling information from an Excel sheet, and for each
row, it opens a new Outlook mail message, with the specific information for
each person based on a general template for the message. The macro creates
the messages perfectly, and pulls in the information accurately, but will not
send the messages. So, I run my macro,and I now have 50 messages at the
bottom of my screen that I have to pull up and hit send for each one. Am I
missing a partial code that I need to add to the end of my macro? Or could
it be a firewall that is preventing it from sending?

Thank you very much!
Gina

Hard to tell, can't see your code. Maybe you can find an answer at this site.

Thank you! I'm at that site right now, searching for just this piece, but

Try to change this

.display
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))
Application.SendKeys "%S%g%g"
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))

to

..Display
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))
Application.SendKeys "%S"


But Sendkeys is not always working OK
Be sure when you test it you close the VBA editor

Another option is to use Excel/Outlook 2007
There are no security warnings then or use CDO

Macro problem: Won't send messages
 

Hi Ron,

I got the send feature to work by adding (.Send) in front of (Or Use Display),
but not I'm having an entirely different problem.

You seem to be the expert on these macro mail codes. I have a paragraph that
is inserting information from cells on the worksheet into the paragraphs.
But whenever I try to add the reference to the cell(range).Value, it will not
include anything into my message anymore, and then error out the rest of the
message macro code. Any idea what I'm doing wrong

Macro problem: Won't send messages
 

Hi Ron,

I'm sorry, I don't know how to send the message privately (searched for the
option in here but couldn't find-I'm a newbie). But, here is the body of the
text that I've created so far. When I run the macro, it will open the
message, but the body is empty.

.Body = "Dear " & cell.Offset(0, -3).Value & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"We are pleased to move you forward to the final
stage of the interview process. Below you will find the information needed
to attend your interview. You will be joining a conference call through
MeetingPlace for the audio portion, and a web-based application called DimDim
for the visual part of the presentation. You must login to both portions of
the interview!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"We remind you that your interview starts promptly at
" & cell.Offset(0, -8).Value


The cell Offset is referencing a cell that has a date in it with the date
format of hh:mm AM/PM

when I take the cell.Offset off of the line, it runs fine and pulls the
message into the body. But, I need to have it reference that cell.

You use

cell.Offset(0, -8).Value

If the Cell column is for example (4 = column D)
This line will blow because column -4 not exist

Tell me in what column your mail addresses are and the date/time

First you can use format to display your time

Format(cell.Offset(0, -8), "h:mm")

Then remove this at the end of the body string

Ok, I added that, but then it returns only a '0' in the message body (leaving
the & _) still attached. So, I removed the (& _) as you said, and now it
won't run, giving me a syntax error on the rest of the message body below
this line.
