Email active worksheet as an attachment via vba

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi - I'm using code very similar to the below but, unless I first save the attachment, all of the data is lost when it attaches to an email - do you know why this is? - thanks, SMOTH1976

With OutMail
.To = "ron@debruin.nl"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.Body = "Hi there"
.Attachments.Add (wb2)
.Send
End With

I'm using this code supplied by Ron which I am grateful for and have quick question. What code could I insert that would allow me to notify the user that the "Notification has been sent" ?

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 FileFormatNum As Long
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
End With
' 'Change all cells in the worksheet to values if you want
' With Destwb.Sheets(1).UsedRange
' .Cells.Copy
' .Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
' .Cells(1).Select
' End With
' Application.CutCopyMode = False
'Save the new workbook/Mail it/Delete it
TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & ""
TempFileName = "Part of " & Sourcewb.Name & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss")
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With Destwb
.SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.to = example@something.com
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "New PCC Checklist"
.Body = "New PCC Checklist"
.Attachments.Add Destwb.FullName
'You can add other files also like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
.Send 'or use .Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
.Close savechanges:=False
End With
'Delete the file you have send
Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub






Thank you in advance.

I have used the above formula and assigned it to 9 buttons on one spreadsheet changing the name of each Sub. I needed to have 3 buttons for each dept 1 approving the report, 1 stating it requires more info and 1 rejecting the report. the problem I have is that when I have clicked on the first three buttons it works okay, but when I try it again it doesn't seem to attache the worksheet anymore. Can anyone explain why?

Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & ".xlsx" -> this line of code returns a "permission denied" error. Any idea why?
