Hi

I am using Microsoft Office Professional 2010.

I am having problems with: excel's send as attachment; vba's activeworkbook.sendmail; and the ability to open excel documents from emails (outlook attachments).

The effects xlsx; xls; xlsm; xlsb file types. With csv files, I am able to open them from email, but the sendmail and send as attachment process do not work.


When attempting to open from email, it prompts you as to whether you would like to attempt to recover the contents of the workbook. It fails this process. You can copy those very same workbooks to a local drive and open them directly without any problems.

When using the send as attachment process the following error is thrown: "The file could not be accessed. Try on of the following:..".

When using VBA's thisworkbook.sendmail process the error "... file could not be found..." is thrown.

Before the send as attachment process and the sendmail process, in the lower right corner of hte window the message "now saving temporary file appears" before the error is thrown.

Using vba I am able to instantiate outlook, and create a mailitem, attach a workbook and send like that.

I have tried using the Add/Remove programs to repair Microsoft office.

I have trawled the forums without any answers.

Anyone had a similar issue? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Many Thanks
Ro
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Looks like a File System (Windows errors or locks) thing not an Excel nor Outlook thing I would check the HD for errors and Windows Event Viewer
