Here is the code that I've gathered together for this. As the subject mentions, the code is placing an extra file extension on the names of Outlook attachments. The files still open, but it looks silly and I'd like to correct it. Can anyone tell me which lines need to be changed/added to correct this?

Much appreciated, thanks!

Code:
Sub SendWorkSheet()


Dim xFile As String
Dim xFormat As Long
Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim Wb2 As Workbook
Dim FilePath As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim OutlookApp As Object
Dim OutlookMail As Object


    On Error Resume Next
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False


    Set Wb = Application.ActiveWorkbook
        ActiveSheet.Copy


    Set Wb2 = Application.ActiveWorkbook


Select Case Wb.FileFormat
    
    Case xlOpenXMLWorkbook:
        xFile = ".xlsx"
        xFormat = xlOpenXMLWorkbook
    Case xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled:
        If Wb2.HasVBProject Then
            xFile = ".xlsm"
            xFormat = xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
        Else
            xFile = ".xlsx"
            xFormat = xlOpenXMLWorkbook
        End If


    Case Excel8:
        xFile = ".xls"
        xFormat = Excel8
    Case xlExcel12:
        xFile = ".xlsb"
        xFormat = xlExcel12
End Select


FilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
FileName = Wb.Name '& Format (Now, "dd-mmm-yy")


Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutlookMail = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)


Wb2.SaveAs FilePath & FileName & xFile, FileFormat:=xFormat
emailbody = "****** style=font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri>My mileage report is attached.</BODY>"


With OutlookMail
    .display
    .To = "someone@somewhere"
    .CC = ""
    .BCC = ""
    .Subject = "Mileage Report"
    .HTMLBody = emailbody & "<br>" & .HTMLBody
    .Attachments.Add Wb2.FullName
    '.Send


End With
Wb2.Close
Kill FilePath & FileName & xFile
Set OutlookMail = Nothing
Set OutlookApp = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
