Freeze pains in this VBA code I have pieced together

I have this giant macro that I have built by piecing together a ton of different examples and changing pieces by trial and error. First here is a quick summary of what the code does:

1.) This spreadsheet can take up to 20 minutes to calculate upon opening and it needs to be sent out daily to my executive team, emailing it is not an option

2.) The VBA code, copies the important tabs in a values format to a temporary workbook, and then emails out the temporary workbook automatically.

I have tried everything but I don't know how to do a pain freeze on the temporary workbook I email out. What I would like is on the tab in the temporary workbook called "datavalues" I would like the pane to be frozen at cell I5.

What do I need to add to the code in order to do this? Also if anyone of you experts spot some clean up that would be great, like I said this is over a years worth of daily tinkering and cutting and pasting for me.

Code: 
'This procedure will send the dashboard tab and a values pasted tab of the data tab
'to the emails listed on the email tab, the spreadsheet will be stripped of macros
'and sent as a *.xlsx file

Sub PasteValueMail()

Hi superskid,

To Freeze Panes, try adding these lines...
Code: 
 Set Destwb = ActiveWorkbook

 Application.Goto Reference:=Destwb.Sheets("DataValues").Range("I5")
 ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True

It looks like the code can be streamlined in a few places.

Starting with the big picture, is there any reason that you can't start by making a temporary copy of your master workbook, then Paste as Values the data on its existing sheets?
That would seem simpler and faster than: add temp sheets > copy data > copy sheets > delete temp sheets.

Are the data sheets just for the recipients' reference? It doesn't seem like they are linked to the dashboard sheet that you send out unless you are remapping that in some way.

To answer your questions:

I guess there is no reason I can't start by making a temporary copy of the master workbook then paste values. The one thing is that by making a copy of it first it might try to re-pull the data before being able to paste it as values. The other tabs all use formulas to pull the data from my accounting software and can take 15 minutes at times to pull the whole workbook. That would certainly lock the macro up if it pulls the data on a new temporary copy.

The data sheets are just for the recipient's reference. If something on the "dashboard" tab looks off to them, they can go into the data and drill down without having to call me and ask what's going on.

Well, an unintended update of the imported data is certainly something to be avoided. :eek:

Try the code below and see if it triggers the update. If so, we can find a workaround.
The CDO parts are untested, but the rest worked for me.

Code: 
Sub PasteValueMail()
 Dim Destwb As Workbook
 Dim TempFilePath As String
 Dim TempFileName As String
 Dim FileExtStr As String
 Dim iMsg As Object
 Dim iConf As Object
 Dim vRecipients As Variant
 Dim sh As Worksheet
  
 Const sCONFIG_PATH As String = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
 
 '--only enable error handler after testing
 'On Error GoTo ErrProc
 
 With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .EnableEvents = False
    .DisplayAlerts = False
    .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
 End With
   
 '--copy sheets to a new workbook
 ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Array("Dashboard", "ADP", "Data", "Promo", "Email")).Copy
    
 Set Destwb = ActiveWorkbook

 '--process each sheet in Destwb
 For Each sh In Destwb.Worksheets
   With sh
      sh.Unprotect
      '--convert to values
      .UsedRange.Value = .UsedRange.Value
      '--select cell A1
      Application.Goto Reference:=sh.Range("A1"), Scroll:=True
   End With
 Next sh
  
 Application.Goto Reference:=Destwb.Sheets("Data").Range("I5")
 ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
    
 '--save the new workbook/Mail it/Delete it
 With Destwb
   TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
   TempFileName = .Sheets("Dashboard").Range("C4").Value & " Dashboard - " _
      & Format(.Sheets("Dashboard").Range("C2").Value, "mmm dd, yyyy")
   FileExtStr = ".xlsx"
   .SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=51
   .Close SaveChanges:=False
 End With

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

 iConf.Load -1    ' CDO Source Defaults

 With iConf.Fields
   .Item(sCONFIG_PATH & "smtpusessl") = True
   .Item(sCONFIG_PATH & "smtpauthenticate") = 1
   .Item(sCONFIG_PATH & "sendusername") = "xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.com"
   .Item(sCONFIG_PATH & "sendpassword") = "xxxxxxxxxxx"
   .Item(sCONFIG_PATH & "smtpserver") = "xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.com"
   .Item(sCONFIG_PATH & "sendusing") = xxxxxxxxxxx
   .Item(sCONFIG_PATH & "smtpserverport") = xxxxxxxxxxx
   .Update
 End With
                          
 '--read email addresses into array
 vRecipients = Application.Transpose(ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Email").Range("B2:B12").Value)
 
 With iMsg
   Set .Configuration = iConf
   .To = Join(vRecipients, ";")
   .CC = ""
   .BCC = ""
   .ReplyTo = vRecipients(3)
   .From = """Hudsons Reporting"" "
   .Subject = TempFilePath & TempFileName
   .TextBody = "Attached is the " & Sheets("Dashboard").Range("C4").Value _
      & " Dashboard run as at " & Format(Sheets("Dashboard").Range("C2").Value, "mmm dd, yyyy")
   .AddAttachment TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr
   .Send
 End With
    
 ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Dashboard").Select

 '--delete the file you have sent
 Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr

ExitProc:
 With Application
   .ScreenUpdating = True
   .EnableEvents = True
   .DisplayAlerts = True
   .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
 End With
 Exit Sub

ErrProc:
 MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
 Resume ExitProc
End Sub
