Sending row from excel as an attachement using outlook

[greg816]

Hi there,

Below is a vba code that I copied from rondebruin.nl. It essentially creates a temp file based on rows in the original file and then attach it to email of outlook. I have tried it out and it works nicely.

But my problem is how can I tailor made each send out email based on cell values in the newly created temp file? For example, in the below code, if I want the output is "Dear Tom" (while Tom is from a field in the temp file) rather than the standard "Dear all" (as found in .Body = "Dear All").

How could I revise that code?

Thanks in advance for your help.

What cell will "Dear Tom" be in?

The name "Tom" is in cell "AL2" with Column name "Name" in the first row. But it doesn't matter where it is as I can use other macro is move its place. Is it possible to incorporate the cell value into the email body?

Thank you!
