Hi group,
Please advise me if this is the wrong forum to post to.
I've been working to have the VBA code inside an Excel spreadsheet to create a new Outlook email and then paste some copied data from that spreadsheet into this new email. It seems to be doing everything I need it to do except to actually SEND then email. Can you tell me what I'm missing that will do this?
Here's my code:
Sub Mail_Selection_Range_Outlook_Body()
Dim rng As Range
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
pRow = 2
propID = Sheets("Prop List").Cells(pRow, 1).Value
emailAdd = Sheets("Email List").Cells(pRow, 2).Value
' ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$R$" & lEndRow).AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=propID
Set rng = Nothing
' Only send the visible cells in the selection.
Set rng = Sheets("Listing").Range("A1:D4").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
If rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "The selection is not a range or the sheet is protected. " & _
vbNewLine & "Please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail
.To = emailAdd
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
' In place of the following statement, you can use ".Display" to
' display the e-mail message.
.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Function RangetoHTML(rng As Range)
Dim fso As Object
Dim ts As Object
Dim TempFile As String
Dim TempWB As Workbook
TempFile = Environ$("temp") & "/" & Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss") & ".htm"
'Copy the range and create a new workbook to past the data in
rng.Copy
Set TempWB = Workbooks.Add(1)
With TempWB.Sheets(1)
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, , False, False
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats, , False, False
.Cells(1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
On Error Resume Next
.DrawingObjects.Visible = True
.DrawingObjects.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End With
'Publish the sheet to a htm file
With TempWB.PublishObjects.Add( _
SourceType:=xlSourceRange, _
Filename:=TempFile, _
Sheet:=TempWB.Sheets(1).Name, _
Source:=TempWB.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Address, _
HtmlType:=xlHtmlStatic)
.Publish (True)
End With
'Read all data from the htm file into RangetoHTML
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.GetFile(TempFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
RangetoHTML = ts.ReadAll
ts.Close
RangetoHTML = Replace(RangetoHTML, "align=center x
ublishsource=", _
"align=left xublishsource=")
'Close TempWB
TempWB.Close savechanges:=False
'Delete the htm file we used in this function
Kill TempFile
Set ts = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
Set TempWB = Nothing
End Function
Clearly I'm missing some kind of command that actually sends and closes the email. Can you tell me what it is and where to place it (in the Subroutine or the Function?).
In advance, thanks for your help!
