Hi,

I keep getting a Run Time Error 13 – Type Mismatch on the below Highlighted Code below when a date field is blank, how can I add some additional code to ignore blank dates? The Macro is used so that when a Certificate date expires that 7 days prior to this a reminder e-mail is sent, some lines of data don’t have expiry dates hence they are blank and causing this error.

Thanks

Stephen.
Code:
Sub eMail()
Dim lRow As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim toDate As Date
Dim toList As String
Dim eSubject As String
Dim eBody As String
 
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .EnableEvents = False
    .DisplayAlerts = False
End With
 
Sheets(1).Select
lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 5).End(xlUp).Row
 
For i = 2 To lRow
toDate = Replace(Cells(i, 16), ".", "/")
  If Left(Cells(i, 18), 5) <> "Mail" And toDate - Date <= 7 Then
     Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
     Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
 
        toList = Cells(i, 5)
        eSubject = "Certificate Out of Date - " & Cells(i, 1) & " is due on " & Cells(i, 16)
        eBody = "Hi Maz" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Certificate is due for renewal."
        
        On Error Resume Next
        With OutMail
        .To = toList
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = eSubject
        .Body = eBody
        .bodyformat = 1
        '.Display
        .Send
        End With
 
    On Error GoTo 0
    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing
 Cells(i, 17) = "Mail Sent " & Date + Time
End If
Next i
 
ActiveWorkbook.Save
 
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    .EnableEvents = True
    .DisplayAlerts = True
End With
End Sub

Sure. Move this line:

Code:
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

so that it is before this line:

Code:
For i = 2 To lRow

Hi Rory,

I've been asked by my colleague who I'm doing this for if we can expand this to include numerous searches in various other columns. Currently it pulls a date from column 16 which is now 20 on the example below:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"]10[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]11[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]12[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]13[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]14[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]15[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]16[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]17[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]18[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]19[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]20[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]H&S 1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]H&S 2[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]H&S 3[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]H&S 4[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]H&S 5[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]H&S 6 [/TD]
[TD="align: center"]H&S 7[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]H&S 8[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]H&S 9 [/TD]
[TD]Insurance - Public[/TD]
[TD]Insurance - Employer[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]01/01/17[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]01/02/17[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]01/03/17[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]01/04/17[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]01/05/17[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]01/06/17[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]01/07/17[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]01/08/17[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]01/09/17[/TD]
[TD]01/10/17[/TD]
[TD]01/11/17[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

How do I expand the code to include these and to have a message saying which of the above has expired?

I know it's probably quite simple to do but thought I'd ask.

Thanks

Stephen.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
