Automated e-mail from macro button in Excel

**mjwillyone** · 07-17-2008, 03:12 PM

Dear Friends,

I am wanting to automate the sending of e-mails to employees. The spreadsheet includes three columns, and multiple rows (no header) - each row is for one employee. The first column contains the name of the individual, the 2nd the e-mail address to use, the 3rd a bit of information that I need to include in the message area of the e-mail along with some of my own text (that will be exactly the same in every e-mail.)

Here is an example

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Joe [email protected] $23.45
Sally [email protected] $55.43

The e-mails would be like this:

Dear Joe, I wanted to let you know that you will receive $23.45 today.

Dear Sally, I wanted to let you know that you will receive $55.43 today.

Any help you can give would be most appreciated!
Mike

Hi,

this only adds a subject but not the main message... does it?

Best Regards

Hi Leith Ross
This macro is great, thanks so much, I am just wondering 2 further things.
1. When I Run the macro, the email generates in Outlook as expected but do i have to hit the 'Send' button each time manually? I have a very large list of emails that I will be generating, is there any way to add function to auto send the mail as well as soon as you run the macro?
2. I am trying to add in the email some text, instead of just have the info on the subject line, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried adding 'Body= ' etc and variations of this but the macro throws up an error each time. Ideally I want to add in a line of text and then also if possible pull a table/data directly from the excel worksheet and show it in the body of the mail.

Any help would be great from anyone with some suggestion to add to the copied macro above.
Thanks
