    send an email automatically when the due date is reached even when excel is closed

    hi

    i checked below thread and as per that there is a code to send an email when when the due date is reached. but to send the email you have to open the excel and run the code manually.

    isnt there a way to send email automatically even excel is closed?

    not that i am aware of

    you can however make the macro automatically run when you open excel
    just add it to workbook_open event
    http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/auto-run-macros.htm

    if you do this then you will also need to ensure you have the workbook every day
    or have it on a Task scheduler (this is off topic, as it no longer relates to excel but windows/possibly mac i am not too familiar with mac) to open the excel by itself but then you must have the computer on at the time the task is scheduled

    Suggest you google Task Scheduler if you wish to head down that route

    If excel isn't open then excel isn't your primary solution.
    Find something that is open and use that to open excel at the right time to send the email.
    maybe use the Windows Task Scheduler. google it for instructions on your OS.
    If you want something done right... find a forum and ask an online expert.
