VB challenge with Excel: button to email thru Outlook

[usnapoleon]

Hello
My excel has a button that does a few things:
It creates a file on my c drive that it uses in preparation of sending the file via email through Outlook
It hides specific tabs of the excel
It creates a Subject line in the email heading.

My work recently upgraded me to a laptop with office 2016 and I think the upgrade broke something in the VB that runs the button. I cannot remember what version of Windows the file was originally created under but I was previously using either 2007 or 2013. Now, the file is prepped like normal, it does everything except populate the email's Subject line with the appropriate title. This is necessary because this is a daily email we send out and the Subject line changes each day.

I was hoping someone can look at the rules and see if they spot something. Thank you in advance.

The only thing I can see is that the SendMail arguments aren't in brackets in your code? Try:

ActiveWorkbook.SendMail ("AuditDistribution@welkgroup.com", mdisplay)

Like I said, the email sends, but the subject line is not being populated. It's left blank. So is there some arguments there that need updating to be compatible with outlook 2016?
