    Exclamation VBA Code to automatically send an email when a due date approaches

    Hello,

    First post here- having a bit of trouble working through this VBA code.
    As preface to this probably really ugly code- i've been VBA coding for 2 days now haha.

    My goal is to have a code scan through Column J for text saying "Send Reminder"
    Then it would see if the same row's column L is Blank.
    If so, it would read if the date in Column D is Less than or equal to 14 days away from today.

    If all of the above was true, it would proceed to open a new Email using the following Information all from the same row as the detected "send Reminder"

    Email address from Column K
    Subject will be: Contract [Value from Column C] will be expiring on [Value from Column D]
    Body will be: Dear [Value from Column G] please update me on the status of this contract

    Afterwards, it will then mark the date the email was sent in Column L to make sure another email reminder will not be sent out.

    All Desired information BEGINS on row 4, I'm hoping none of the above rows will be included.


    Below is the current code I'm using - It keeps looping over the same cells sadly.

    Sub TEstSend()
    Dim RowCount As Long
    Dim ColCount As Long
    Dim tmpstr As String

    For RowCount = 1 To 14
    tmpstr = ""
    For ColCount = 1 To 14
    tmpstr = tmpstr & Cells(RowCount, ColCount)
    Next ColCount
    If tmpstr <> "" Then

    Dim i As Long
    Dim OutApp, OutMail As Object
    Dim strto, strcc, strbcc, strsub, strbody As String

    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    OutApp.Session.Logon



    For i = 3 To 10
    If Cells(i, 4) - 14 < Date Then
    If Cells(i, 10) = "Send Reminder" Then
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
    strto = Cells(i, 11).Value 'email address
    strsub = "Contract " & Cells(i, 3).Value & " is expiring on " & Cells(i, 4).Value 'email subject
    strbody = "Dear " & Cells(i, 7).Value & vbNewLine & "please update me on this contract's status" 'email body
    With OutMail
    .To = strto
    .Subject = strsub
    .Body = strbody
    .display

    On Error Resume Next
    Cells(i, 12) = "Mail Sent " & Now()
    Cells(i, 13) = "Reminder Sent"

    End With
    End If
    End If
    Next

    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing

    End If

    Next



    End Sub


    Thank you all!

    Hi there,

    See if the following code does what you need:

    The highlighted values can be changed to suit your own requirements. Specifying the various column letters as constants at the start of the routine makes life a bit easier if the layout of your worksheet ever changes.

    I would suggest combining the "Reminder Sent" and "Reminder Date" cells into a single cell containing "Reminder Sent" plus the date.


    Hope this help - please let me know how you get on.

    Regards,

    Greg M
