Deferred Email delivery time

[Guest]

Hi,

I have been cobbling this script together from posts. I am trying to send a
time-delayed email using .DeferredDeliveryTime that will send a reminder
email one day before a due date on the worksheet, most of the time between
1-3 weeks from the date of sending. Sadly I can not get it to work

I've been trying on and off for a few days now, trying different things.
Right now this is what I have. Any suggestions?

With wb
Dim TempFilePath As String
Dim TempFileName As String
Dim eDueDate as String

TempFileName = SheetName
TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
eDueDate = "#" & Format(DateAdd("d", -1, sDueDate3), "mm/dd/yyyy")
& "#"

.Protect ("mypassword") 'PROTECT WORKBOOK
.SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, _
FileFormat:=lFileFormatNum '(Just gives current unsaved book a
name)


'Send Email
Dim OutlookApp As Object 'Outlook.Application
Dim MailItem As Object 'Outlook.MailItem
Dim Recipient As Object 'Outlook.Recipient
'Dim Attachment As Object 'Outlook.Attachment - does not work this way

Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") ' New Outlook
application
'Another example had OutlookApp.Session.Logon
Set MailItem = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With MailItem ' with the newly created e-mail
Set Recipient = MailItem.Recipients.Add(sEmailAddr) ''this way
allows for error checking
If Not Recipient.Resolve Then ''error checking
MsgBox "There is an invalid recipient"
End If
.DeferredDeliveryTime = eDueDate 'Delays the delivery of the
message
.cc = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "** REMINDER: Your WearTest Style " & sStyle & "
Feedback is Due " & sDueDate2
.Body = "If you have not already done so, please send in your
feedback form."
.Attachments.Add tFF.FullName
On Error Resume Next
.Send 'or .Display
On Error GoTo 0
Set MailItem = Nothing
'Set Attachment = Nothing
Set Recipient = Nothing
Set OutlookApp = Nothing ' clean down memory
Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr ' delete the
temporary attachment
End With
End With

Any help is truly appreciated.

Is that code located in Outlook or in Excel? Also, please tell us where an
error occurs and what the error description is saying.

Thanks for your reply, Michael!

The error occuring at runtime from Excel arrests and breaks right at the
..DeferredDeliveryTime line.

At first it said Outlook didn't recognize it, and I looked in the VBA help
and it isn't even in the help contents.
Like I said, I've been trying different things. This is just the latest
configuration. The last error I got said :

"unable to coerce parameter value. outlook is unable to [interperet] your
string."

I put the word 'interpret' in brackets because I almost forgot the error as
I was writing it down, but it was 'interpret' or something like that.

I am using Office 2003. Thank you!!

The reference states that the type of DeferredDeliveryTime is Date, not
String.
