I am adapting some code to make a mail merge work directly from Excel using a Gmail address, but I am having some problems. Any help would certainly be appreciated.
I want this to send an email to every column that does not equal "not scheduled this week" in column "I"
my info is in the following columns

First Name: C
Team: H
Game Date: I
Game Location: J
Game time: K
Field:L
Email: M


Code:
Sub SendWith_SMTP_Gmail_To_Parent()
'Works On Windows (Not Mac). Mac Users Should Use Zapier Integration
'Created by Randy Austin www.ExcelForFreelancers.com
Dim EmailMsg, EmailConf As Object
Dim Subj, Mess, Json, URL, LastName, FirstName, Email, Attach As String
Dim ContactRow, LastRow, SentCounter As Long
Dim EmailFields As Variant
Set EmailMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message") 'CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) -Make sure you have the 'CDO For Windows' Library Selected
Set EmailConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
    EmailConf.Load -1    ' Set CDO Source Defaults
     Set EmailFields = EmailConf.Fields
     With EmailFields
        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465
        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = True
        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1
        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "Robgoldstein@gmail.com"
        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "password"
        .Update
     End With
With Sheet1
    
    
    LastRow = .Range("E999").End(xlUp).Row 'Get Last Row Of Table
    
    For ContactRow = 2 To 55
        Subj = .Range("B53").Value 'Email Subject
        Mess = .Range("B54").Value 'Email Message
        If .Range("I" & ContactRow).Value <> "not scheculed this week" Then GoTo NextRow
        FirstName = .Range("C" & ContactRow).Value
        Date = .Range("I" & ContactRow).Value
        Team = .Range("H" & ContactRow).Value
        Location = .Range("J" & ContactRow).Value
        Time = .Range("K" & ContactRow).Value
        Field = .Range("L" & ContactRow).Value
        Email = .Range("M" & ContactRow).Value
        Subj = Replace(Replace(Subj, "#date", Date), "#LastName#", LastName)
         Mess = Replace(Replace(Mess, "#FirstName#", FirstName), "#LastName#", LastName)
        Mess = Replace(Replace(Mess, "#FirstName#", FirstName), "#team#", Team),"#date#", Date), "#location#",Location), "#gametime#",Time"), "#field#",Field)
       
        With EmailMsg
            Set .Configuration = EmailConf
            .To = Email
            .CC = ""
            .BCC = ""
            .From = """SC Toronto 2011 Boys Winter Soccer"" <robgoldstein@gmail.com>"
            .Subject = Subj
             If Attach <> Empty Then .AddAttachment Attach
            .TextBody = Mess
            .Send
        End With
        SentCounter = SentCounter + 1
NextRow:
    Next ContactRow
    
      'Cleanup
    Set EmailMsg = Nothing
    Set EmailConf = Nothing
    Set EmailFields = Nothing
End With
MsgBox SentCounter & " Emails have been sent"
End Sub

That's OK. There's not a lot more I can say to be honest since it works for me with that amendment.

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
It's the code from post 20 just with the From address changed.

Also, to clarify, when I say it works, I actually get a transport error, but I'm assuming it's because work blocks that kind of activity.
