Appreciate some help please - I use the code below to email from Excel to Outlook, which works fine.

I would like to add a Picture to the message and I added 2 lines (2) marked xxxx
I now get an error message

Some error occurred 438
Object doesn't support this property or method.

Can anybody spot my error or amend code if possible
Excel 2016, Windows 10

Many Thanks Brian A

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.

Use this syntax for a file or image:

Code: 
.Attachments.Add ("C:\Users\mmickle1\Pictures\Bugs_Bunny.png")

If you want to attach current workbook you could use:

Code: 
  .Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
I just tested it. Seems to be working.

Matt, thank you for your reply, works as an attachment, I would prefer a picture following the email text.

Is this possible

Kind Regards Brian A

.htmlBody = "< html>< p>This is a picture.< /p>" & _
"< img src='C:\Users\mmickle1\Pictures\Bugs_Bunny.png' height=480 width=360>"

I have added an extra space after "<" this needs to be removed for it to work properly....

Not sure what the issue would be. I tested with a picture local to my User Profile and sent it to a co-worker. He received the full picture. Not a blank outline or broken .jpg link.

Sorry to keep on with this, but I really would like to solve this.

I have located 2 vba codes to send emails from my Worksheet, I send 20 – 30 emails per week - Both send emails but not as I would like.
The first code attaches a picture in the email body, but does not fill the email "to" or "Subject".
The second code attaches a Picture as an Attachment and completes the "to" "subject" details.
I am trying to combine the two codes to achieve Fill the To, Subject, cc etc and add a Picture to the email body i.e. not an Attachment.
Appreciate if anyone can help please

Sub EmbedPicture()
    Const MyPath = "C:\Users\Main User\pictures\"

        .htmlbody = "<html><p>This is a picture</p>" & _
        "<img src=cid:" & Replace(MyPicture, " ", "%20") & " height=290 width=580>" & _

    strto = Cells(FormulaCell.Row, "j").Value 'customer email address
    strcc = "" ' copy email to 1
    strbcc = "" ' copy email to 2
