I would like to loop through last row starting at A2.

Here is what I have so far:

VBA Code: 
Sub Mail_test()
    
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object
    Dim LR As Long
    Dim x As Long
    
    test_top = "<html><head><title></title></head><body>" _
        & "<style> table.main {border:2px solid black} " _
        & "<style> table.schedule {border-collapse:collapse;border:1px solid black;} " _
        & "<style> table.schedule td {border-collapse:collapse;border:1px solid black;} " _
        & "<style> .href { font-size: 13px; font-family: calibri;}</style> " _
        & "<table class=mainwidth:600px""><tr>" _
        & "<center><spanfont-size:19px;"">" _
        & "TITLE<br></span></center><br>" _
        & "<spanfont-size:15px;"">" _
        & "Text" _
        & "<center><table class=""schedule""width:590px;""><tbodyfont-size:13px;"">" _
        & "<tr align=""center"";style=""color:#c00000;"">" _
        & "<td>header</td><td>header</td><td>header</td><td>header</td></tr>" _

    test_bottom = "</tbody></table></center>" _
        & "Text</table></body></html>" & .HTMLBody
    
    LR = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    
    For x = 2 To LR

    row = & "<tr><td>" & Range("A" & x) & "</td><td>text</td><td>text</td><td align=""center"">text</td></tr>" _

    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
    
    With OutMail
    
    .Display
        
    .HTMLBody = test_top & row (looping to LR in column A starting at A2) & test_bottom
    
    End With
        
    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing

End Sub

You need a matching

to show the end of your For loop. My educated guess is it should go here. Also, do not create a new Outlook app every time through the loop. I also strongly encourage you to use indentation to show the structure of your code.

This created 3 separate emails with row = & "<tr><td>" & Range("A" & x) & "</td><td>text</td><td>text</td><td align=""center"">text</td></tr>" _.

What I'm trying to do is send one email with three rows (data in A2, A3, A4).

The final output should look like this

I believe this will do the same thing, create separate emails for each row and not one email with all rows.

On a side note, why did you add each "As String". I've never seen a difference with or without. Newbie question?

I see, then it would be something like the code below.

I use the features and improvement settings that the VBE offers me as much as possible. The most eye-catching to me are "option explicit", "intellisense" (Ctrl+J) and "auto complete" (Ctrl+Space).
The first will force the coder to pre-declare all variables used, otherwise the VBE will not compile the code (I prefer compile-time errors over run-time errors ...) and I prefer my declarations to be explicit, so instead of
Rich (BB code): 
Dim MyText
I use
VBA Code: 
Dim MyText As String
so the MyText variable starts as a String vartype and stays a String vartype during its lifetime, and instead of
Rich (BB code): 
Dim Sht
I use
VBA Code: 
Dim Sht as Worksheet
for the same reason and for the benefit of using intellisense as well.

Aside from the reasons given, in general you can prevent a lot of bugs with strong typing. Strong typing means that each variable has a specific data type. If you try to assign a variable to a variable with an incompatible type, it was give you an error, which is better than just assigning whatever to whatever and getting bugs.

Using Variant is weak typing, because a Variant variable changes type depending on what you assign to it--and you can assign anything to it. If you do not have Option Explicit, and do not declare variables, they default to Variant. And if you declare it without a type, it defaults to Variant.

One problem (IMHO) with VBA is that even if you use typed variables, VBA will try to resolve type conflicts with silent conversions. For example, if you have

Rich (BB code): 
Dim i As Long
Dim s As String

i = "1234" ' String will be converted and i will be 1234
s = 1234 ' number will be converted and s will be "1234"

i = "x" ' type mismatch runtime error! But if i is Variant you will not get any error.

Thank you for taking the time to explain by "on a side note", as well as help me on this.

The good news is it worked, the not so good news is all the formatting was lost.

This is the output.

I'm thinking I'll need to add formatting to each row. I'll play around with that in the morning.

Actually, it worked perfectly. For some strange reason when you pasted it into the board, some of the spacing got lost. I had copied your example, once I made the changes to the spacing it worked. Very cool, thank you for the help.

    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object
    Dim LR As Long
    Dim x As Long

    test_top = "<html><head><title></title></head><body>" _
        & "<style> table.main {border:2px solid black} " _
        & "<style> table.schedule {border-collapse:collapse;border:1px solid black;} " _
        & "<style> table.schedule td {border-collapse:collapse;border:1px solid black;} " _
