Somebody updates a workbook.
And exits. I would like at this point for a notification to be sent to a list of email addresses, which contains a snapshot of the info that has just been added

A report has been added to the system about [cell.A1] submitted by [cell.A2]

easy?

Where do I start:)
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
That's a big jump from error 1004.

Have you tried making the workbook a shared one? Tools-> Share workbook.

This will save changes from different users with comments in changed cells.

Hi Nate,

I have done the same Access, but I want to make this system a lot lighter - less fat.

I want people to be able to fill out a form they get through email. This form will update an excel workbook on a shared network. when this workbook is updated, I would like notification....

hmmmmm

is this tricky Nate?

Tricky....Probably not too bad, depends on your e-mail system. Here's some code which I think uses outlook (I use Notes so I don't mess with Outlook code).

Just need to mix it with a Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) procedure or an auto_close procedure. And loop through your recipients.

Cheers,

Nate
