HI - I have code that sends an email when using the command button.

Is there a way to attach only the Sheet 2 (which is hidden) in an outlook email as an attachment? File save name doesn't matter.
Or can we copy the data to a new workbook and attach that workbook to email?

I don't want to have to worry about location where users have saved the file or where they are accessing it from.

Here is the code I have for the email command button (bottom 2/3 of the code including the "function range to html")
Thanks!


VBA Code:
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B2").Value = TextBox1
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B3").Value = TextBox2
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B10").Value = TextBox6
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B11").Value = TextBox7
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B8").Value = TextBox8
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B6").Value = TextBox9

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B5").Value = ComboBox1
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B7").Value = ComboBox2


Dim x
x = Me.ListBox4.List
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("A14").Resize(UBound(x) + 1, 1).Value = x

x = Me.ListBox5.List
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("b14").Resize(UBound(x) + 1, 1).Value = x


 If OptionButton4.Value = True Then
         ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B9").Value = "No"
     End If
 If OptionButton5.Value = True Then
          ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B9").Value = "Yes"
     End If
 If OptionButton6.Value = True Then
         ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B4").Value = "Change an Existing User"
     End If
  If OptionButton7.Value = True Then
          ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B4").Value = "Add a New User"
     End If
 If OptionButton8.Value = True Then
          ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Form_Data").Range("B4").Value = "Inactivate an Existing User"
     End If
