Hello,
I am writing a macro to send an email daily at 9:30am from an excel by attaching the same excel. While i am able to get the mail when i test run the macro in VBA module window, but i am unable to get the mail daily automatically on the specified time. Below is my code.

*******ThisWorkbook Code********
Private Sub SetOnTime()
Dim Start As Date
Start = DateSerial(2021, 6, 14)
If Date <= Start + 5 Then
Call SendMail
Application.OnTime TimeValue("9:30:00"), "SendMail"
End If
End Sub

***********Module Code************
Public Const MailFunct = "SendMail"
Sub SendMail()
Dim outlookApp As Object
Dim myMail As Object

Set outlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myMail = outlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

ThisWorkbook.Save
source_file = ThisWorkbook.FullName

With myMail
.To = "smadhu71@rediffmail.com"
.CC = "smadhu71@rediffmail.com"
.Subject = "Update"
.Body = " "
.Attachments.Add source_file
.Send
End With
End Sub

This is the TIMER macro :

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Dim TimeToRun

Sub auto_open()
    Call ScheduleEmail
End Sub

Sub ScheduleEmail()
    TimeToRun = TimeValue("09:30:00")
    Application.OnTime TimeToRun, "RunEmail"
End Sub

Sub RunEmail()
  
    Mail_workbook_Outlook
   
    Call ScheduleEmail
End Sub

Sub auto_close()
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.OnTime TimeToRun, "RunEmail", , False
End Sub


The I used my own email macro:


Code:
Option Explicit


Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook()


Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim sndEmail As String
Dim ccEmail As String
Dim bccEmail As String

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

    With OutMail
    .To = "smadhu71@rediffmail.com"
    .CC = "smadhu71@rediffmail.com"
    .BCC = ""
    .Subject = "Update"
    .Body = "This is the body"
    .Display
    End With

On Error GoTo 0


Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

Hi,
Thanks for the code. I tried your code. The problem persist. The mail is not getting automatically pushed on specified time. I have to manually run the macro to push the mail. I want the mail to be automatically executed without manual intervention. Is this possible ?

Do this ... delete the following lines from the macro :

VBA Code:
'Sub auto_open()
'    Call ScheduleEmail
'End Sub


In the ThisWorkbook module, paste this :

Code:
Option Explicit

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Call ScheduleEmail
End Sub

The macro should auto run when the workbook is opened.

I've had difficulty with the "auto_open" macro in the past. Don't understand why it would not function as designed but ... there were problems.
Sometimes it would run as designed and sometimes it would not.

Hi,
Your inputs have resolved the issue to some extent. I think the mail has triggered but it has been held due to some other issue. Pl find attached the error msg. I thought the error may be related to enable / disable macro and i changed the Macro Settings to 'Enable All Macros' in Trust Center. But, still i did not receive the mail. Is there anything else missing ?

Hi,
I have uploaded a sample blank file in DropBox.com. I may need a mail id to share.
