Hello, I have a code someone helped me with which will save a copy of a template of information as a new file name in a specific folder and then attach that file to an email. I'm looking to make a slight change: Instead of attaching the newly named file to the email, I'd really like to just copy a set range of cells from the file and have that go into the body of the email. The code I currently have is as follows:

VBA Code:
Sub SaveEmailSheet()
    Dim Name As String
    Dim VacFile As Workbook 'This will be VACATION CHANGES File
    Dim NamedVacFile As Workbook 'This will be the file Vacation Changes data gets pasted to
    
    With Application
        .EnableEvents = False
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .DisplayAlerts = False
    End With
    
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    
    Set VacFile = Workbooks("VACATION CHANGES.xlsm") 'Defining the Dim VacFile Variable
    VacFile.Worksheets("VACATION").Range("A1:AC26").Copy 'Copying data from Vacation changes file
    Set NamedVacFile = Workbooks.Add 'Creating a new workbook
    NamedVacFile.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, _
          SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    ActiveSheet.Paste 'Pasting data from Vacation Changes to this file
    ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
    Range("A1").Select
    
    Name = "\\specific folder locations\" & _
        Range("E12").Value & " " & Format(Range("A2").Value, "mm-dd-yy") & " To " & Format(Range("A3").Value, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsx"
    'Defnining the Name as String variable and telling it where we want it to save a file and what name we want to give it
    
    NamedVacFile.SaveAs Filename:=Name, FileFormat:=51 'Saving our new workbook as the specified name and in the specified folder
    EmailForm 'Calling our EmailForm subprocedure to email a copy of the newly named file
    ActiveWorkbook.Close
    VacFile.Activate 'Close the newly named file and return to the Vacation Changes template
    
    
    With Application
        .EnableEvents = True
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .DisplayAlerts = True
    End With
    
End Sub


Sub EmailForm()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

On Error Resume Next

    With OutMail
        .Display
        .HTMLBody = "<BODY style=font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri>" & ".<br>" & "</BODY>" & .HTMLBody       '<-- enter message body here"
        .Attachments.Add Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName
        .To = "emails entered here"       
        .CC = "CC emails entered here"
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "Vacation Change " & Range("E12").Value  '<-- enter subject here
        .Body = "Please see the attached vacation change for " & Range("E12").Value      '<-- enter message body here
        '.Display 'or use .Send
    End With



On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing

    
End Sub

So the range that I would want in the body of the email is always the same: D10:G26

How might I integrate this into the code and replace the attachment with that?
 

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
I would have looked for an answer to this on Ron DeBruin's site, but how-to information has unfortunately been taken down from there. Anyone maybe know a solution for this?

I found it! I did some tweaking to an old template I saved and I can't believe I actually got it figured out but here is what I came up with:

VBA Code:
Sub EmailForm()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Range("D10:G26").Select
Dim rng As Range
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
    If rng Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Not a range or protected sheet" & _
               vbNewLine & "please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
        Exit Sub
    End If


Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

On Error Resume Next

    With OutMail
        .Display
        .htmlbody = "<BODY style=font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri>" & "Please see the below vacation change. <br>" & "</BODY>" & RangetoHTML(rng) & .htmlbody       '<-- enter message body here"
        .To = ""        '<-- enter email addresses here. Multiple emails separate by semi-colon"
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "Vacation Change " & Range("E12").Value  '<-- enter subject here
        '.Display 'or use .Send
    End With



On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
SaveEmailSheet
    
End Sub
Function RangetoHTML(rng As Range)
    Dim obj As Object
    Dim txtstr As Object
    Dim File As String
    Dim WB As Workbook
    File = Environ$("temp") & "\" & Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss") & ".htm"
    rng.Copy
    Set WB = Workbooks.Add(1)
    With WB.Sheets(1)
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, , False, False
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats, , False, False
        .Cells(1).Select
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        On Error Resume Next
        .DrawingObjects.Visible = True
        .DrawingObjects.Delete
        On Error GoTo 0
    End With
    With WB.PublishObjects.Add( _
         SourceType:=xlSourceRange, _
         Filename:=File, _
         Sheet:=WB.Sheets(1).Name, _
         Source:=WB.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Address, _
         HtmlType:=xlHtmlStatic)
        .Publish (True)
    End With
    Set obj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set txtstr = obj.GetFile(File).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
    RangetoHTML = txtstr.ReadAll
    txtstr.Close
    RangetoHTML = Replace(RangetoHTML, "align=center x:publishsource=", _
                          "align=left x:publishsource=")
    WB.Close savechanges:=False
    Kill File
    Set txtstr = Nothing
    Set obj = Nothing
    Set WB = Nothing
    
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Function

    Sub SaveEmailSheet()
        Dim Name As String

        End With
        
        ActiveWorkbook.Save
        
        Set VacFile = Workbooks("VACATION CHANGES.xlsm") 'Defining the Dim VacFile Variable
        VacFile.Worksheets("VACATION").Range("A1:AC26").Copy 'Copying data from Vacation changes file
        Set NamedVacFile = Workbooks.Add 'Creating a new workbook
        NamedVacFile.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
        Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, _
              SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
        ActiveSheet.Paste 'Pasting data from Vacation Changes to this file
        ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
        Range("A1").Select
        
        Name = "sample pathway" & _
