I am in office 2013 (32x).

When I run this macro: ( )
in Excel 2013 (works in 2016) - I keep getting a compile error at "Environ$". I've searched the web for hours and cannot figure out how to resolve saving the temp file. This is on a network so I can't have a static address. Could someone help me prompt them to save as, then attach that file at the chosen address to an email and send?

Thank you in advance - I am beyond frustrated and confused at this point.

 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
You will need to be more specific to obtain assistance.

Post the entire code you are using (there is more than one example on Ron's website using Environ$ that you referenced).

Is the line that includes Environ$ the only line that is presenting an error ?

Thanks

Sorry - I posted rather hastily in my frustration. I appreciate your help.

I gather I need to check a box in tools > resources, but cannot find the correct one. I am using the second macro at the above link. I've attached a screenshot of the error message and pasted the specific code below. Thank you!

VBA Code:
Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook_2()
'Working in Excel 2000-2016
'Mail a copy of the ActiveWorkbook with another file name
'For Tips see: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/winmail/Outlook/tips.htm
    Dim wb1 As Workbook
    Dim TempFilePath As String
    Dim TempFileName As String
    Dim FileExtStr As String
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object

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

    Set wb1 = ActiveWorkbook

    'Make a copy of the file/Open it/Mail it/Delete it
    'If you want to change the file name then change only TempFileName
    TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
    TempFileName = "Copy of " & wb1.Name & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss")
    FileExtStr = "." & LCase(Right(wb1.Name, Len(wb1.Name) - InStrRev(wb1.Name, ".", , 1)))

    wb1.SaveCopyAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr

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

    On Error Resume Next
    With OutMail
        .to = "ron@debruin.nl"
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "This is the Subject line"
        .Body = "Hi there"
        .Attachments.Add TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr
        'You can add other files also like this
        '.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
        .Send   'or use .Display
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0

    'Delete the file
    Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr

    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing

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

Copied your code as is and ran it here. Runs as expected. Frustrating ... I know ...

Here is a modified version of your macro based on the same example provided by Ron deBruin :

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Sub Email_WB()

   Dim oApp As Object
   Dim oMail As Object
   Dim LWorkbook As Workbook
   Dim LFileName As String

   'Turn off screen updating
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False

   'Copy the active worksheet and save to a temporary workbook
   ActiveSheet.Copy
   Set LWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook

   'Create a temporary file in your current directory that uses the name
   ' of the sheet as the filename
   LFileName = LWorkbook.Name & " Email.xlsx"
   On Error Resume Next
   'Delete the file if it already exists
   Kill LFileName
   On Error GoTo 0
   'Save temporary file
   LWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=LFileName

   'Create an Outlook object and new mail message
   Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
   Set oMail = oApp.CreateItem(0)

   'Set mail attributes (uncomment lines to enter attributes)
   ' In this example, only the attachment is being added to the mail message
   With oMail
      .To = "user@yahoo.com"
      .Subject = "Subject"
      .body = "This is the body of the message." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
      "Attached is the file"
      .Attachments.Add LWorkbook.FullName
      .Display  'Comment out this line and uncomment the next line when ready to auto-send email
      '.Send    'Uncomment this line and comment out the line above when ready to auto-send email
   End With

   'Delete the temporary file and close temporary Workbook
   LWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadOnly
   Kill LWorkbook.FullName
   LWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

   'Turn back on screen updating
   Application.ScreenUpdating = True
   Set oMail = Nothing
   Set oApp = Nothing

End Sub

Here are the references I have activated for your posted code :
