    Messages from Excel

    Hi,

    Can Excel send messages to mobile phones? Is there any application for this purpose?

    Thanks in advance.

    email to:
    your_phone_number@phone_provider_sms_mail_address

    Go Advanced / Attachments - Manage Attachments / Add Files / Select Files / Select the file(s) (multiple files can be selected while holding Ctrl key) / Upload Files / Done
    Replace company specific / sensitive / confidential data. Include so many rows and sheets etc in the uploaded workbook to enable the helpers visualize the data and table structure. Helpers do not need the entire workbook.

    Look for your provider from this list.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways

    the use your cell number and carrier email domain.

    It works for me.

    I am not sure that you understand. Use what was posted to find the syntax for the email address. Then use a routine to do the email. Since we don't know what email program you use, we can not suggest any code.

    Some methods are Mailto:, CDO, Lotus Notes Object, MicroSoft Outlook object, Thunderbird, and on and on...

    CDO works for some. See: http://www.rondebruin.nl/sendmail.htm
