Hi, Sharath.

How do you keep track of their birthdays, and will all messages be cc'd to the same group of people? If not, how can we tell who is cc'd on which messages?

I have a excel that has
Colum A Name and Colum B the date in MM/DD/YYY format
Yes all messages will be Cc'd to the same group always just the names will differ

Try this. It will mail a birthday message to every entry in the spreadsheet. We can modify it to only send messages to birthdays matching today's date or to those within a certain number of days of today.

Sub SendBirthdayMessage()
    Dim excApp As Object, _
        excBook As Object, _
        excSheet As Object, _
        olkMessage As Outlook.MailItem, _
        intRow As Integer
    Set excApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    'Change the file name and path on the following line as needed
    Set excBook = excApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\eeTesting\Birthdays.xls")
    Set excSheet = excBook.Worksheets(1)
    intRow = 1
    Do Until excSheet.Cells(intRow, 1) = ""
        Set olkMessage = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
        With olkMessage
            .Recipients.Add excSheet.Cells(intRow, 1)
            .Recipients.ResolveAll
            'Change the subject line as needed
            .Subject = "Happy Birthday"
            'Insert your HTML on the following line.  You can insert the HTML directly or read it in from a file.  The HTML can be anything you want it to be.
            .HTMLBody = "Your HTML goes here"
            .Send
        End With
        Set olkMessage = Nothing
    Loop
    excBook.Close False
    Set excSheet = Nothing
    Set excBook = Nothing
    Set excApp = Nothing
    MsgBox "All done.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Send Birthday Greetings"
End Sub

Well, according to what you posted in this question the data would be in the format

Name Birthday
Sharath 12/12/1967

If you want to change it to this format

Bdate Date Username Email Address Groupname Username/Groupname
12/12/1967 Sharath Sharath@plc.com Group1 User1/group1

then use the code below

Sub SendBirthdayMessage()
    Dim excApp As Object, _
        excBook As Object, _
        excSheet As Object, _
        olkMessage As Outlook.MailItem, _
        intRow As Integer
    Set excApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    'Change the file name and path on the following line as needed
    Set excBook = excApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\eeTesting\Birthdays.xls")
    Set excSheet = excBook.Worksheets(1)
    intRow = 1
    Do Until excSheet.Cells(intRow, 1) = ""
        If CDate(excSheet.Cells(intRow, 1) = Date() Then
            Set olkMessage = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
            With olkMessage
                .Recipients.Add excSheet.Cells(intRow, 3)
                .Recipients.ResolveAll
                .CC = excSheet.Cells(intRow, 4)
                'Change the subject line as needed
                .Subject = "Happy Birthday"
                'Insert your HTML on the following line.  You can insert the HTML directly or read it in from a file.  The HTML can be anything you want it to be.
            .HTMLBody = "Your HTML goes here"
            .Send
        End With
        Set olkMessage = Nothing
    Loop
    excBook.Close False
    Set excSheet = Nothing
    Set excBook = Nothing
    Set excApp = Nothing
    MsgBox "All done.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Send Birthday Greetings"
End Sub

Is this a outlook macro?
I get a compile error here
If CDate(excSheet.Cells(intRow, 1) = Date() Then

Is a Bracket missing?

For both the questions its the same results that i need.
1. Automate the process in outlook to find the date and if the date is todays date then send a mail to all the bday members with some users in CC.

David Lee

Oops, sorry. Yes, it is an Outlook macro and yes a parenthesis is missing. The line should read

If CDate(excSheet.Cells(intRow, 1)) = Date() Then
