Mailing a worksheet with Pivot table and preserve formatting

[jowoo]

Hi All,

I'm new to VBA and I used Ron De Bruin's fantastic code to mail a worksheet by modifying it slightly to do what I want. The problem is when the pivot table in the worksheet is copied to the email body, the formatting is lost. Is there a way to preserve the formatting of a pivot table when mailing in outlook? Here is the code I am currently using:

Sub Mail_Variance()
Dim rng As Range
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim StringSubj As String

StringSubj = ActiveSheet.Range("d1") 'Filename

With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
Range("D1").Select
Selection.ClearContents 'clear the contents of cell where formula for filename resides
Set rng = Nothing
Set rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = "someone@email.com"
.CC = "someone@email.com"
.BCC = ""
.Subject = StringSubj
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)

.display 'use .Display to show, use .Send to send
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 xublishsource=", _
"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

The only way to retain the formatting as you've requested (that I know of) is to use the technique I mention in this post

Hope this helps

I get the following compile error when I use your code:

"User-defined type not defined".

I'm very green when it comes to vba so forgive me if it's something that I'm doing wrong.
