Email Macro

[John Calder]

Hi

I run XP with Excel 2K and Outlook 2003

I have a distribution list in Outlook that I would like to be contained in a
macro that allows me to run the macro and it opens Outlook with the
distribution list automatically. Alternatively, I would settle for a macro
that just opens Outlook.

Any ideas?


Thanks

Everything you need to send emails from Excel can be found at Ron de Bruin's
site.

Note the SendMail add-in which makes it all easy without writing your own
code.

Thanks for your prompt response

I have used the macro supplied by Ron (see below)

***************************************************

Sub Mail_workbook_1()
'Working in 97-2007
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook

If Val(Application.Version) >= 12 Then
If wb.FileFormat = 51 And wb.HasVBProject = True Then
MsgBox "There is VBA code in this xlsx file, there will" &
vbNewLine & _
"be no VBA code in the file you send. Save the" &
vbNewLine & _
"file first as xlsm and then try the macro again.",
vbInformation
Exit Sub
End If
End If

On Error Resume Next
wb.SendMail "(e-mail address removed)", _
"CPCM DAILY REPORT"
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

***********************************************

This works fine if I want to send it to once person. However I would like to
send it to 10 different people. Presently I have a distribution list set up
in Outlook with these 10 people. Is there a way that I can include the
distribution list in the Excel macro and if so , how?

Alternateivly, can I put all the email addresses in the macro so that it
goes to all of them?

If so how would I restructure the macro>


Thanks

Thanks for your reply.

The original code you supplied worked fine for sending an email to one
person. As i wanted to send to multiple people I went to the "TIP link" as
you suggested and under the heading "Send the mail to more people" I used the
following code:- (just changing the actual email addresses)

..SendMail Array("(e-mail address removed)", "(e-mail address removed)",
"(e-mail address removed)"), _
"DAILY REPORT"

to replace from the original code:-

wb.SendMail "(e-mail address removed)", _
"CPCM DAILY REPORT"

Now when I run the macro I get and error: COMPILE ERROR: Invalid or
unqualified reference

and the .SendMail at the start of the line is highlighted.

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks

John

Hi John

Add wb before the dot

wb.SendMail Array("(e-mail address removed)", "(e-mail address removed)", "(e-mail address removed)"), _
"DAILY REPORT"
