In my VBA project, a worksheet is created, copied to a new book and saved. This worksheet is like an internal user order form and has a few macro embedded shapes on it for use by the user using the form which is emailed to them.
The macros are stored in the workbook that created the initial worksheet. The users receiving the email with the form in it with the macro embedded shapes do not have access to the original creation workbook, so the macros embedded on the attachment they receive are not executable.
How can I send out that document with the macros available to the user? (I know this is can be an unsafe practice from the recipient standpoint, but no harm is intended with these macros.)
My email distribution code is below ...
"wb_tsrf" is the original worksheet created by my project that has the embedded macro shapes on it. It gets copied as a temporary file in which some of the shapes are removed (redundant to end user). It is this file that gets attached to the email. The remaining macros on the copied and emailed version don't work at the user end and I kinda hope they can be. I can use the macros on both the original and copied version as they can easily access the document holding the macros.
