    Problem on sending emails

    Hi...I have a simple macro that sends emails. The specific code section looks like

    strto is defined as the current value of the cell and carbon is defined as other value in other cell. Those variables are defined as strings.. if check the values of those variables I see for example "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" which are correct.

    The problem is that the email is not sent and I get no error. if I hardcode the values instead of the variables with the following:

    the email is sent.

    Anyone can help me to solve the problem?

    Tanks,

    Ezequiel

    Hi and welcome!
    Show us how you assign strto and carbon variables.
    You could use code tags around posted code (select code and press # button)

    Thanks kasan!

    super simple:

    strto = ActiveCell.Value
    carbon = ActiveCell.offset(0,1).Value

    Let me know if you need more info

    Ezequiel,

    Please review the forum rules... particularly rule #3 about using code tags. (please edit your original post to fix this)

    All I can suggest by looking at your post is that there is a problem with the variable's value somehow. There is no obvious reason why it would not work if the variables have the exact same value as your hard-coded email address...
    Perhaps you could provide a sample workbook with the sheet and code... it does not have to have real email addresses or data.

    Re: Problem on sending emails

    Thanks for fixing that... back to the issue at hand... is there any chance that one of the characters in the cells providing the value of strto or carbon are different? or that there is a space in there somewhere? If you checked the values of the variables and they are properly assigned before the "With Outmail" section of the code then it really should be caused by something like that... because the principle seems right. I assume your strto and carbon are assigned earlier in the code and that you are checking their values just before the .send command?

    Re: Problem on sending emails

    Hi Arkadi...I checked that and all looks good...I built a sample spreadsheet with dummy values attached here. You can see that the macro does not send emails, but if you hardcode the emails on the macro, the email is sent. This is the whole code within:

    Re: Problem on sending emails

    try adding .display before .send...
    shouldn't be needed but you never know...

    I did test your code by putting in my own email, and it worked fine.
