I am creating a routine that will send notifications in outlook based on a future date. I have two notifications (reminders) 30 days and 15 days prior to due date.


I want to have 2 different email messages for each reminder notification. I am alittle stuck on how to have this choose messages between the two dates. How can I achieve this on what I have so far


Code:
Public Sub SendReminderNotices()
' ****************************************************************
' Define Variables
' ****************************************************************
Dim wkbReminderList As Workbook
Dim wksReminderList As Worksheet
Dim lngNumberOfRowsInReminders As Long
Dim i As Long



' ****************************************************************
' Set Workbook and Worksheet Variables
' ****************************************************************
Set wkbReminderList = ActiveWorkbook
Set wksReminderList = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet

' ****************************************************************
' Determine How Many Rows Are In the Worksheet
' ****************************************************************
lngNumberOfRowsInReminders = wksReminderList.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

' ****************************************************************
' For Any Items That Don't Have A Date In Columns 15 or 16,
' Check To See If The Reminder Is Due.
'
' If Reminder Is Due, then Send An Email.
' If Successful, Log The Date Sent in Column 15 or 16
' ****************************************************************
For i = 2 To lngNumberOfRowsInReminders
' ****************************************************************
' First Reminder Date Check
' ****************************************************************

    If wksReminderList.Cells(i, 15) = "" Then
If wksReminderList.Cells(i, 4) - 30 = Date Then
            If SendAnOutlookEmail(wksReminderList, i) Then
                wksReminderList.Cells(i, 15) = Date 'Indicate That Reminder1 Was Successful
            End If
        End If
    Else
' ****************************************************************
' Second Reminder Date Check
' ****************************************************************
        If wksReminderList.Cells(i, 16) = "" Then
            If wksReminderList.Cells(i, 4) - 15 = Date Then
                If SendAnOutlookEmail(wksReminderList, i) Then
                    wksReminderList.Cells(i, 16) = Date 'Indicate That Reminder2 Was Successful
                End If
            End If
        End If
    End If
Next i

End Sub

Email sends but only for the 1st message( 30days) even if the cell has 15 days. Any help would be much appreciated!!
 
In the function, shouldn't strBody1 or strBody2 be determined by the date in column 4 being in the future rather than the past?

Exactly...I realized this and used case

For i = 3 To RowNumber

Select Case Date
Case WorkSheetSource.Cells(i, 4) - 30
strBody = strBody1
Case WorkSheetSource.Cells(i, 4) - 15
strBody = strBody2
End Select
Next i


everything works now! Thanks for the reply
