        For Each Address In Split(Range("Z23"), ";")
            Set myRequiredAttendee = .Recipients.Add(Address)
            myRequiredAttendee.Type = olRequired

    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing
    
End Sub


Hoping you can help me figure this out, Looking to send a reminder to myself and my coworker two weeks after I run this code to follow up with it.

Any ideas why this isn't working?

Its getting caught on
With OutMail
.MeetingStatus = olMeeting
 

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
You need to activate reference to "Micosoft Outlook 1x.0 Object Library" from VBE menu Settings / Reference.

Solution
That is what you always need to check when using an Object (see first part of your macro) not integrated in Excel.
Thanks for the positive feedback(y), glad having been of some help.
