    email notifications

    Hi, i am reasonably competent in using excel but i am clueless when it comes to VBA, i dont even know where to start.

    I have a spreadsheet which gives me a date when a item of equipment needs re testing, i believe that i can set up a email notification if the date falls in a certain range.

    Can someone please advise me how to do this is simple terms?

    Thanks

    Re: email notifications

    There's at least a couple of ways this could be done assuming that you are using Outlook.

    One is from within Excel and would get Excel to create and send e-mails. If your particular workbook is not opened, then no e-mails would get sent.

    An alternative is to acheive the same outcome but from within Outlook. Working on the basis that you are going to have your E-mail client open every working day, this would mean that messages would be sent out more promptly.

    Either way, you would probably need to have a column in the workbook which showed that a message had been sent to make subsequent runs of the code not send it again.

    Any preferences?
