Outlook


Posted by Ampleford on November 05, 2001 12:48 AM

I have written a simple macro which copies a worksheet from a workbook and emails it out via Outlook. Is there a command in VB which I can put in which creates a standard "title" for the EMail Subject field.....

You don't say what code you are using, but try using
the HasRoutingSlip property - it allows you to add a subject line and message.

Any help?

Not sure what you mean by code. I am just using Microsoft Visual Basic from Excel. I wrote the macro by simply recording my actions, then I usually add a couple of lines etc to "customise" it to my needs...

I don't know about VB, but with HTML you can just make a link like this:

mailto:you@bigfoot.com?subject=Whatever you want

And whoever clicks on that will automatically have "Whatever you want" as the default subject.

Doubt it's what you're looking for, but thought I'd try.

Still no luck

I added a line with:-

Subject = "Blah Blah"

but it never worked.

Oh jings...

OK - try this code instead of the macro you recorded. You may have to
amend the sheet name and recipient to suit.

Sub Send()
Dim myfile As String
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy
myfile = ActiveWorkbook.Name
ThisWorkbook.Activate
If Not IsNull(Application.MailSession) Then Application.MailLogon
Workbooks(myfile).HasRoutingSlip = True
With Workbooks(myfile).RoutingSlip
.Delivery = xlAllAtOnce
.Recipients = "someone@somewhere.com" 'OR Array("someone@somewhere.com", "someoneelse@somewhereelse.com")
.Subject = "My file send"
.Message = "Try this for size"
End With
Workbooks(myfile).Route
End Sub


Does that help?

Regards
