I'm using Outlook locally with 2 accounts.
I want to send emails programatically using the "non-default" account.
I checked out "SendUsingAccount", but wasn't able to make that work.
Anyone know the syntax?

Here's my code:

Code:
    On Error Resume Next
    With OutMail
        '.From = Range("fromwho").Text this doesn't work, even if it's hard-coded email addy
        .To = "anne@annetroy.com"
        .CC = Range("driveremail").Text
        .BCC = "anne@annetroy.com"
        .Subject = Range("spsubj").Text
        .Body = strbody
        .Display   'or use .Send
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Hi Anne, long time no see!

have you tried using .SendUsingAccount?

Code:
Outmail.SendUsingAccount = OutApp.Session.Accounts.Item(1) 'might require Set at the beginning for 2016 and newer....

The "1" is the number of the account to use. Ron has an example of this at his site:

Hey, girl!!

Yep. I tried that as stated in my post. :(
I think I missed the (1) part....

This worked:

Code:
    On Error Resume Next
    With OutMail
    Set .SendUsingAccount = OutApp.Session.Accounts.Item(2)

Thanks!!!
