Actions list email reminders

Hi,

I've been looking to send out reminders automatically from my Action Tracker spreadsheet to all actionees. I assumed this would be a common use of excel and that I would be able to find a piece of code that I could then bastardise. That much was true but can't seem to make the code work at all as it seems most of the code has been written for a 64bit Excel but we run 32bit Excel.

Would you be able to help convert the code to 32bit? Please find code below.

Many thanks,

John

RE: Actions list email reminders

Hi John

Thanks for your question.

RE: Actions list email reminders

Hi John,


Thank you for the forum question.

Which error do you get? Please let me know the error number and tell me which line Excel highlight when you debug.

Do you use the same Outlook Library in 64 and 32 Excel?

If it is a library issue you have, you can change the code to late binding (reference Object instead of Outlook.Application.





Kind regards
