                Application.Text(Now(), "dd mmm yyyy HH:mm") _
                & ". Advise Ms. Crabtree immediately with errors."
            If ActiveWorkbook.HasRoutingSlip = False Then

            End If
            With ActiveWorkbook.RoutingSlip
                .Recipients = BranchAdmin

            End With
           Application.DisplayAlerts = True
        Else
            'don't mail
        End If
    End With
End Sub


In the end, this converted a 2+ day ordeal down to about 90 seconds. It basically gave the accountants a whole extra day in the monthly close.
