Hiya Peeps,
I wonder if someone can help me with this. I am trying to get the code to select the right data via autofilter, then email the sheet as a PDF.

I have the following code:
Code:
Sub Sort1()
'
    ActiveSheet.Range("$AB$4:$AB$350").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Array( _
        "Care Assistant", "RGN", "Senior Care ***..."), Operator:=xlFilterValues


ChDir "K:\Payroll\"
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=x1TypePDF, Filename:= _
"K:\Payroll\testsave.pdf", OpenAfterPublish:=False


Dim OutLookApp As Object
Dim OutLookMailItem As Object
Dim myAttachments As Object


Set OutLookApp = CreateObject(“Outlook.application”)
Set OutLookMailItem = OutLookApp.CreateItem(0)
Set myAttachments = OutLookMailItem.Attachments


With OutLookMailItem
.To = “”
.Subject = "Time Sheets"
.Body = "Please check these and let me know if they are correct or not."
myAttachments.Add "K:\Payroll\testsave.pdf"
‘.send
.Display
End With


Set OutLookMailItem = Nothing
Set OutLookApp = Nothing
End Sub

However I get the following error:

Code:
Run-time error '424':

Object required

and this is the bit that is highlighted:

Code:
Set OutLookApp = CreateObject(“Outlook.application”)

Cheers with the help in advance peeps :D

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
I have Outlook 16.0 object library ticked in that section.

Looks like some of your double quotes are wrong
Code:
Set OutLookApp = CreateObject([COLOR=#ff0000]“[/COLOR]Outlook.application[COLOR=#ff0000]”[/COLOR])
Set OutLookMailItem = OutLookApp.CreateItem(0)
Set myAttachments = OutLookMailItem.Attachments


With OutLookMailItem
.To =[COLOR=#ff0000] “”[/COLOR]
They should be "" not “”
