Hi All:

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if they know of a working code that will send a Worksheet or Workbook as an attachment in Outlook and ALSO allow the user to edit the body of the e-mail prior to sending?

I have found coding on Ron deBruin's (sorry if the spelling is incorrect)website which gets me close but I can't seem to find a code that will allow the user to type their own message prior to sending the e-mail. There must be a way of doing this.

Can anyone assist???

THANKS,

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Hi Mark,

Have you considered linking the message to a cell?

E.g. Body = Range("A1")

Or linking it to Application.InputBox....

Hi Jon:

How would I go about those options? I understand the part about having a box to type your message in but I am not sure what you are talking about in your other suggestion. SORRY it is probably my VBA ignorance talking...
The code I will use probably use is:


Code:
Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook()
'This example send the last saved version of the Activeworkbook
'You must add a reference to the Microsoft outlook Library
    Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    With OutMail
        .To = "ron@debruin.nl"
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "This is the Subject line"
        .Body = "Hi there"
        .Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
        'You can add other files also like this
        '.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
        .Send   'or use .Display
    End With
    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

How would I alter this for the A1 thing.

THANKS,
Mark

Well it really depends on how you want the process to work. You could either create a section in the spreadsheet to define who you want to send it to, change the subject to the name of the file, and include a message.

So for example A1 could host: jon_vonderheyden@oohay.oc.ku
A2 could host: "Dear Jon, please review the attached and return completed list to me as soon as possible. Thank you.

Then the code could look something like:

Code:
To = Range("A1").Value 
        .CC = "" 
        .BCC = "" 
        .Subject = ActiveWorkbook.Name 
        .Body = Range("A2").Value

or to use an input box for the subject change it to

Code:
.Body = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Message", Type:=2)

Think that should work :unsure:

Hi Jon:

I like the Message Box idea. However I noticed that the user is limited as to the amount of characters they can enter. Is this adjustable or is that the way Excel is? If the length can not be adjusted I will try out your other method. THANKS fro all your help...

Bye 4 Now,
Mark

P.S. Do you know if the code I have in the above posting could be altered to asked the user if they want to add a message to the e-mIl and if so type it in A1? Just curious.
