Generate emails from Excel on certain dates

Hello,
I keep a list of transactions in Excel which includes info on the transaction, i.e. item, price, cutomer name, etc. and the customer's email address. I'd like to generate a standard follow-up email to the customer say two weeks after the transaction. Is there a way I can do that from Excel?

Sure, it's straightforward to send email from Excel, see http://www.rondebruin.nl/sendmail.htm
In your cas, we need to indentify how to trigger the email, probably on Workbook open checking against dates, and using a market to esnure that the email is only sent once
Can you pls upload  a sample workbook
Cheers

Sure thing, attached here...

Thank you
Sample-workbook.xlsx
So in terms of process
  • You entere a transaction date in column A
  • When the file is opened it should send an email to the person in column R if the current date exeeds the column A date by two weeks (and if the person has not been emailed before)

That's great, thank you. Two questions; can I use this macro in Excel 2007 as is and will it automatically send the emails at the beginning of the day each day or do I need to launch the macro?
The macro will run fine in Excel 2007
The macro will launch automatically when you open the file. Would you open it each day?
Cheers
