Hi, I'm having a problem with a code I'm entering to email the active sheet in my workbook. I want the sheet to be in the body of the email, not as an attachement. But at the same time, it's adding a lot of unused space to the body of the email. Is there anyway to specify the cell range I want copied? Here's the code I have currently...it's all tied to a button:

PHP:
Dim rng As Range
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object
    With Application
        .EnableEvents = False
        .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With
 
    Set rng = Nothing
    Set rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
    'You can also use a sheet name
    'Set rng = Sheets("YourSheet").UsedRange
    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    OutApp.Session.Logon
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
 
    On Error Resume Next
    With OutMail
        .To = "me@me.com"
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "CD Renewal " & Range("$L$13").Value & """"
        .HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
        .Display   'or use .Display
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0
 
    With Application
        .EnableEvents = True
        .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With
 
    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing
End If
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:publishsource=", _
                          "align=left x:publishsource=")
 
    '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
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
This is the exact same question I was about to post...
How to put a "range" into body of email.

Here is the code I am using. It works great with Outlook.
If you look at the line for <b>strbody = </b> the last line I specify the range <b>rngData</b>, but it doesn't go into the email, so this is where I am hung up...

<quote>
Sub CDO_Mail_Small_Text()
Dim iMsg As Object
Dim iConf As Object
Dim strbody As String
Dim Flds As Variant
Dim EmpN$

SomeVariable = "Variable Data Here"


Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

iConf.Load -1 ' CDO Source Defaults
Set Flds = iConf.Fields
With Flds
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") _
= "mail.bentimagelab.com"
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
.Update
End With

strbody = "First Line of text in body" _
& vbNewLine & "Sent on: " & Format(Date, "dd/mmm/yy") _
& vbNewLine & rngData

With iMsg
Set .Configuration = iConf
.To = "someone@e-address.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.From = """MyName"" <myemail@address.com>"
.Subject = "My Subject"
.TextBody = strbody
.Send
End With
End Sub

I think the <b>.HTMLBody = </b>" only sends as text string much like a "MsgBox =" would in code for an procedure. It's one cell value or a group of cell's string values tied together with the "&".

My next thought is inserting a range as a table? Different than a string, right? When I manually copy and paste Excel ranges into Outlook email I find that the range copies as a table in Outlooks formatting. So some solution might lie in this path of logic?
