VBA Help- not selecting the set range

[NeoSez]

I am trying to send Sheet1 as an attachment but it will not select the range A1:I23 , but sends the entire sheet, which I don't want.
Also, how do I change it to paste special and not include formulas? I tried adding it but it kept giving errors.
What am I missing?
Thanking you in advance for any suggestions.

'Copy the ActiveSheet to a new workbook

ActiveSheet.Copy

Set Destwb = ActiveWorkbook

these are the lines creating a new workbook with just that sheet.

You have a line that sets the rng, what are you wanting to do with it?

HI Dave. I was trying to send the specified range from that sheet as an excel attachment in an email. I do not want to use UsedRange as it picks up the entire sheet. I want a specific range as a paste special to remove formulas.

You would have to add a new workbook, then copy the preferred range into the new workbook, save it and then add as an attachment.

--------------------------------------------------
It looks like you are just wanting to send information.
You can PDF that specific range and send the PDF as an attachment.

Sub PDFrng()
    Dim oApp As Object
    Dim oMail As Object
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim rng As Range
    fname = Environ("Temp") & "\copySheet.pdf"

    'Turn off screen updating
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    'Make a copy of the active sheet and save it to a temporary file
    Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
    Set rng = wb.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:I23")
    
    rng.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=fname, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
                            IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
                            False

    'Create and show the outlook mail item
    Set oMail = CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(0)
    With oMail                                   'Add a recipient
        .To = "Marcus.Small@YourEmail.com.au"
        .Subject = "Add a PDF"
        .Attachments.Add fname
        .Display
    End With

    Kill fname
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Set oMail = Nothing
End Sub

    Kill fname

I really appreciate the work and the code you have put together, however, as previously stated, it needs to be an excel attachment as it needs to be modified and sent out again. I will save this PDF code for future reference.
