Automatically populate cell after vba email sent

[eddieum1]

Hi there,

I'm new to VBA and using Ron's Email template to automatically send messages. However, I'd like to only send one email without having to delete the excel workbook. Instead, I'd like to set up a rule where only emails are sent if column N is blank. In other words, the word "Sent" is automatically populated after the first email is sent. Can anyone help modify the code please?

ok, so i was able to use .Range("M" & Rnum).Value = "Sent" but it only populates one time. If i add the same email address and send emails, the cell won't populate for the second time. Any guidance would be appreciated

With Ash.AutoFilter.Range
On Error Resume Next
With .Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count - 3)
.Range("M" & Rnum).Value = "Sent"
Set rng = .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
End With
On Error GoTo 0
End With
