Send automatic email after the workbook has been updated

[JamesFletcher]

Hi All,

Is there a way to send an email to myself when the document is updated by a specific person? It would be good to have the email when the document is closed.

The document is always updated by the same person and I don't want the email sent if it is updated by anyone else. e.g. I update the document on occasion and I don't want to send myself an email!

FYI, we use Outlook.

Yes but it depends on the outlook settings I think. I tried something similar to let me know when someone unauthorised tried to access an excel workbook but the problem I had was the outlook settings came up with a warning when excel tried to send an e-mail and the user had to approve the e-mail. I got around this by writing a text file to a network folder instead and then putting a macro in my outlook application to check the folder when I open outlook and send myself an e-mail with the details in the text file...

To get the username I think you can use application.username

Thanks yudlugar

I have managed to set the following code to run when the workbook closes:

Is there any way to only get this code to run when a specific user or users are using it?
I don't want it to run when I close it but do when several other people do.

Yes, it depends on how many users there as to how you would do this, you would either need a lookup table somewhere or to hard-type it into the code, for example:

if there are only a few users who you don't want to send an e-mail it may be better to use
