Problem with sending email

[Alphaboss7]

Any suggestions on how to send an email from excel? I'm not sure my code is working or not.

Sub Mail_Range()
    Dim Source As Range
    Dim Dest As Workbook
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim TempFilePath As String
    Dim TempFileName As String
    Dim FileExtStr As String
    Dim FileFormatNum As Long
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object

    Set Source = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    Set Source = Range("PN_Range,PD_Range,UP_Range,CP_Range").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    On Error GoTo 0

    If Source Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "The source is not a range or the sheet is protected, please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
        Exit Sub
    End If

    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With

    Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
    Set Dest = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)

    Source.Copy
    With Dest.Sheets(1)
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
        .Cells(1).Select
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
    End With

    TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
    TempFileName = "Selection of " & wb.Name & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss")

    If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
        'You use Excel 97-2003
        FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = -4143
    Else
        'You use Excel 2007-2016
        FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51
    End If

    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

    With Dest
        .SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
        On Error Resume Next
        With OutMail
            .To = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Inventory Dashboard").Range("Email").Value
            .CC = ""
            .BCC = ""
            .Subject = "Purchases Required"
            .Body = "The required purchases for this month are in the attached file"
            .Attachments.Add Dest.FullName
            .Send
        End With
        On Error GoTo 0
        .Close savechanges:=False
    End With

    Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr

    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing

    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
    End With
End Sub

I commented out a few lines of code (for testing purposes because I can't recreate your workbook here in totality) and created a SourceRange of A1:D1 to copy.

Added .Display and commented out .Send to see if the code creates an email.

It does !

Here is the revised code for my testing purposes. You should be able to edit back what you need to test for yourself:

Option Explicit


Sub Mail_Range()
    Dim Source As Range
    Dim Dest As Workbook
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim TempFilePath As String
    Dim TempFileName As String
    Dim FileExtStr As String
    Dim FileFormatNum As Long
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object


    'Set Source = Nothing
    'On Error Resume Next
    Set Source = Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1:D1")   'Range("PN_Range,PD_Range,UP_Range,CP_Range").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    On Error GoTo 0


    'If Source Is Nothing Then
    '    MsgBox "The source is not a range or the sheet is protected, please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
    '    Exit Sub
    'End If


    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With


    Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
    Set Dest = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)


    Source.Copy
    With Dest.Sheets(1)
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
        .Cells(1).Select
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
    End With


    TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
    TempFileName = "Selection of " & wb.Name & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss")


    If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
        'You use Excel 97-2003
        FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = -4143
    Else
        'You use Excel 2007-2016
        FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51
    End If


    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)


    With Dest
        .SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
        On Error Resume Next
        With OutMail
            .To = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Inventory Dashboard").Range("Email").Value
            .CC = ""
            .BCC = ""
            .Subject = "Purchases Required"
            .Body = "The required purchases for this month are in the attached file"
            .Attachments.Add Dest.FullName
            '.Send
            .Display
        End With
        On Error GoTo 0
        .Close savechanges:=False
    End With


    Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr


    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing


    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
    End With
End Sub

Now I'm getting an error in the following code:

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

You do have Outlook installed on your machine ?

In the VBE, you also have Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office Object Libraries referenced under TOOLS ?
