I found some code online that will automatically Open outlook and email the file that I name, but I am getting an error

Run-time error '1004':
Sorry, Excel can't open two workbooks with the same name at the same time.

It is stopping at the Break External Links code:
'Break External Links
ActiveWorkbook.BreakLink Name:= _
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SAP Shared\BW\BExAnalyzer.xla", Type:= _
xlExcelLinks



Can anyone help? The name of the file should be 20190614_Forward Order.xlsm


Code:
Sub SaveForward()'
'  Names, Saves, and Closes Forward Order Report
'


      ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\Users\RozekD\Documents\XXXXX\Non-Customer\Reports\Forward Order Reports\" & _
                        Format(Now(), "YYYYMMDD") & "_Forward Order" & ".xlsm"

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
That already exist as a command through the File menu. Share, Email.
Those that are truely "lazy" add the command to their QAT from Commands not in the ribbon.

For sending just Worksheets from a Workbook, I have the following. A rondebruin VBA.

Code:
Sub Mail_ActiveSheet()
'Working in Excel 2000-2016
'For Tips see: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/winmail/Outlook/tips.htm
    Dim FileExtStr As String

    Dim Sourcewb As Workbook
    Dim DestWB As Workbook
    Dim TempFilePath As String
    Dim TempFileName As String
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object

    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With

    Set Sourcewb = ActiveWorkbook

    'Copy the ActiveSheet to a new workbook
    ActiveSheet.Copy
    Set DestWB = ActiveWorkbook

    'Determine the Excel version and file extension/format
    With DestWB
        If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
            'You use Excel 97-2003
            FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = -4143
        Else
            'You use Excel 2007-2016
            Select Case Sourcewb.FileFormat
            Case 51: FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51
            Case 52:
                If .HasVBProject Then
                    FileExtStr = ".xlsm": FileFormatNum = 52
                Else
                    FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51
                End If
            Case 56: FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = 56
            Case Else: FileExtStr = ".xlsb": FileFormatNum = 50
            End Select
        End If

    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

    With DestWB
