VBA to prompt to overwrite or save as and attach in email....

[lesleyfayburton]

Sorry all, I am sure this question has been addressed but I just can't find it. So I want to accomplish (2) things total. and you all have already helped me so much with the first.

1) export excel range to pdf and save it but I need a prompt to ask something like "file already exists do you want to overwrite?" and if "no" "then specify new file name to save as" (I would like to keep the current file name so that I can just add to the end of the name whatever I want to distinguish it from the other. If "yes" then a final message "this ticket has been saved"
2) I want to be able to create and save the ticket and attach it in an email with that file name in the subject of the email. I want the email to open before sending.
So I am thinking I have two macros? One to save a ticket and another one to save and email. so is the best practice to "call" the email macro instead of mashing the two macros together?
Thank you in advance for this tremendous help!

So this is the code I am trying to alter but it takes me down a path that I don't want to go. So I don't even know if I should put this in here but I would like to learn if I could alter this to make it work.

Dim xSht As Worksheet
Dim xFileDlg As FileDialog
Dim xFolder As String
Dim xYesorNo As Integer
Dim xOutlookObj As Object
Dim xEmailObj As Object
Dim xUsedRng As Range

'Check if file already exist - THIS IS WHERE IT GOES SOUTH

If SaveCurrentWorkbook(Dir("T:\Department\Investment Sales\_Restricted\TRADING\TRADE TICKETS\" & Sheets("Trade Ticket").Range("R1").Value & ".pdf")) > 0 Then
xYesorNo = MsgBox(Sheets("Trade Ticket").Range("R1") & " already exists." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to overwrite it?", _
vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "File Exists")
On Error Resume Next
If xYesorN = vbYes Then
Kill xFolder
Else

MsgBox "if you don't overwrite the existing PDF, I can't continue." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Exiting Macro"
Exit Sub
End If
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Unable to delete existing file. Please make sure the file is not open or write protected." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Unable to Delete File"
Exit Sub
End If
End If

Set xUsedRng = xSht.UsedRange
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(xUsedRng.Cells) <> 0 Then
'Save as PDF file
xSht.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, FileName:=xFolder, Quality:=xlQualityStandard

'Create Outlook email
Set xOutlookObj = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set xEmailObj = xOutlookObj.CreateItem(0)
With xEmailObj
.Display

.To = ""
.CC = "" & ""
.Subject = FileName
.Attachments.Add PathFileName
If DisplayEmail = False Then
'.Send
End If
End With
Else
MsgBox "The active worksheet cannot be blank"
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
