I have the below macro which will scan an excel file with manager emails down Col B. For each manager, an email will be drafted/an excel file attached/ and sent automatically. I have been able to test this and it is working fine when drafting 50 - 100.
My concern is, 50 - 100 emails does not seem like a good indicator of knowing if this will work fine when sending 5,000 emails.
Am I at risk of this freezing or other issues when running this on actual file with 5,000 emails?

Would it be a good idea to house my For Each loop inside another loop something like For i = 1 to 5000 Step 50 and then add Do Events before starting the actual loop to give my computer some time to catch up before proceeding with the next 50 emails? I'm not exactly sure if this is in the scope of Do Events though. I can also provide computer specs if necessary.
This should work fine for larger files. With that number of emails to send though, your run time could easily be over an hour. A good idea might be to raise some flag in the error handler in case it does encounter an issue. Maybe something like:
if Err then
Msgbox "Error Encountered at Row " & cell.row
end if
right underneath the with-block.

I have an excel spreadsheet for permits, and one column is their expiration dates. My boss wants to be emailed about the permits that expire in the next 2 weeks. How can I use visual basic to tell Outlook to send an email each time he opens the excel spreadsheet?
This is for a spreadsheet I set up, permit names are in column A, dates are in column J.

I may have to use a button to run the program, but I'm not sure if it is possible to schedule emails.
It appears that you have not dimmed OutApp as an object.
Once that is done add a loop examining the expiration dates and adding the specific cells to a dynamic array, re-dimming the array with each iteration. Finally each license on the array will need to be added to a text string that can then be added to the body of the email you are creating above....
Once you have all the above working as you would like, you will want to tie the whole operation to the Workbook Open event.
In the VBE, open This Workbook...
Then use the drop-down menus to select the Workbook and Open Event and add your code and save.
I am a computer technician, not a programmer, but in my new job I have been asked to finish a macros in excel (vba).
It consists of a list of id card numbers in one of the columns (the number of cells is variable each time it is used, one day you can put 20 people and another 12 for example), and emails in another column.
In a folder there are some pdf documents whose name is the id card of the person that appears in the excel.
What they ask me is that, being ordered the id card in alphabetical order, take the id card and email. The id card will serve to find your corresponding pdf and add it as an attachment with the idea of sending it by email, to whom? there the cell is used with the email data. This has to be done with each of the existing rows, take pdf file to attach it and send email to the address of that same row until there are no more rows on the sheet.
Can someone tell me how to do that or tell me the functions I need?
Thank you.
Graphical idea:
The macro is currently set to .Display the email and not send. After you have finished running tests you will want to change this to .Send to actually send the email.
You will also need to update the value of strLocation. Inside the quotes is where you will need to put the location of the folder that houses all of your target PDFs.
The order of your cells doesn't matter here as long as each row is associated to one individual.
Hopefully these emails are internal - you should not use this for external mailing lists as you cannot offer the option to unsubscribe. Outlook may flag/ban your account if you are suspected of spam.
This assumes the values in Column C are actual email addresses that will be recognized as is by Outlook. (urdearboy#email.com)

I send an email with VBA. A classification is popped up for each email and it needs to be set by hand. I am trying to work around this in the code.
I found a code to send emails: Mail a message with outlook via VBA.
After fixing few things, the following code is working.
Sub sendEmail()

'Working in Office 2000-2016

.Subject = "Reminder"
.Body = "Dear " & Cells(cell.Row, "A").Value _

"Please Finish your course " & Cells(cell.Row, "C") & _
" before expiry date."
.Send 'Or use Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Next cell
cleanup:
Set OutApp = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The problem is that after sending emails from the list to for example 10 persons, I need to click on classification pop up 10 times.
I found this: How to save workbook and handle TITUS (or any other document classification add-in) popup?
I tried .EnableEvents = False before .Send. I am not sure if this does serve me.
How to use this in my case? Is it doable to disable it, work around it, or even set a classification within the code?
There is a workaround, but you have to do it in Outlook Developer itself. You can set up an event handler in Outlook which triggers a macro. So, in this case, Outlook could watch for a message to be created with a specific subject line (as an example), and THAT would trigger the script below, which bypasses TITUS.
'Sets Titus Mail settings and sends mail
With AOMailMsg
objMsg.ItemProperties.Add("ABCDE.Registered To", olText) = "My Companies"
objMsg.ItemProperties.Add("ABCDE.Classification", olText) = "Internal"
objMsg.UserProperties.Add("ABCDE.Registered To", olText) = "My Companies"
objMsg.UserProperties.Add("ABCDE.Classification", olText) = "Internal"
objMsg.UserProperties.Add("TITUSAutomatedClassification", olText) = _
"TLPropertyRoot=ABCDE;.Registered To=My Companies;.Classification=Internal;"
objMsg.Send

Excel Sheet Sample
This should do what you want!
To run a macro automatic when you manual change a specific cell you can use the Change event in a worksheet module.The example on this page use Cell A1 and will run the macro if the cell value >200.
1) Right click on a sheet tab and choose view code
2) Paste the event below in the sheet module.
3) Alt-q to go back to Excel
Note: Change YourMacroName to the name of your macro in the code.
If you want the code to work for another cell or more cells you can change the range in the event.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("A1"), Target) Is Nothing Then
If IsNumeric(Target.Value) And Target.Value > 200 Then
Call YourMacroName
End If
End If
End Sub
Example mail macro
Test this example macro to create/display a Outlook mail with a small text message.
You must copy this macro in a standard module and not in the worksheet module, see this page how.
Note: I use .Display in the code to display the mail, you can change that to .Send
Do not forget to change Call YourMacroName to Call Mail_small_Text_Outlook in the Change event.

I am new in VBA. I would like to ask on how to trigger email which has been reply.
Scenario : I have this coding as below which send the email to recipient (Column B) if there is "yes" in column C.
For Each cell In Columns("B").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If cell.Value Like "?*#?*.?*" And _
LCase(Cells(cell.Row, "C").Value) = "yes" Then
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = cell.Value
.Subject = "Reminder"
.Body = "Dear " & Cells(cell.Row, "A").Value _
& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Please contact us to discuss bringing " & _
"your account up to date"
'You can add files also like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
.Send 'Or use Display
End With
Question : How can I trigger if the recipient has replied to my email that I sent earlier? I would like to automate the trigger to my excel file on column E as remark recipient has replied to my email. Ex, "replied / no reply".
Really appreciate for any help since I am new in VBA.
Thank you.
Assuming your using Microsoft Outlook and an Exchange Server.
There are 3 Extended MAPI properties that deal with the message state for replied to/forwarded:
PR_ICON_INDEX (0x10800003)
PR_LAST_VERB_EXECUTED (0x10810003)
PR_LAST_VERB_EXECUTION_TIME (0x10820040)
This MSDN article https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb176395(office.12).aspx provides code that shows how to use these MAPI Properties:
Sub DemoPropertyAccessorGetProperty()
Dim PropName, Header As String
Dim oMail As Object
Dim oPA As Outlook.PropertyAccessor
'Get first item in the inbox
Set oMail = _
Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items(1)
'PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS
PropName = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x007D001E"
'Obtain an instance of PropertyAccessor class
Set oPA = oMail.PropertyAccessor
'Call GetProperty
Header = oPA.GetProperty(PropName)
Debug.Print (Header)
End Sub
You will want to replace the 'PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS ie 0x007D001E in the above code and I'm guessing you'll want to go through more than just the first mail item...
