So I now have two versions of Outlook, the new version as well as the old version. So my code below does not work. I am thinking that is the problem. I am getting a message stating "We detected a problem launching the new Outlook. Please try again later." I am still trying to decide which Outlook to keep. Is there a way to only reference the Outlook version I want to open? Here's the code I used. Thank you.

VBA Code:
Sub Email()

    Dim olApp As Object
    Dim MI As Object
    Dim sPath As String, sFileName As String, CurrentTime As String, sFileLocation As String
    Dim wbAnswer As Integer, EmilAnswer As Integer
    
    sPath = "C:\Users\" & Environ("username") & "\OneDrive\Desktop\"
    
    sFileName = Range("B8").Text & "_" & Format(Now(), "mm.dd.yyyy_hhmm") & ".pdf"
    sFileLocation = sPath & sFileName
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=sFileLocation
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    
    EmailAnswer = MsgBox("Do you want to email this pdf?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1 + vbQuestion, "Email: " & sFileName)
    If EmailAnswer = vbYes Then
        Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
        Set MI = olApp.CreateItem(OlMailItem)
        
        With MI
            .To = ""
            .CC = ""
            .Subject = "Purchase Order Number: " & PONumber
            .Attachments.Add sPath & sFileName
            .Body = Salutation & FirstName1 & "," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Please allow me to purchase this." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
            .Display
        End With
        Set MI = Nothing
        Set olApp = Nothing
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
    wbAnswer = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to close this workbook and Excel?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1 + vbQuestion, "WORKBOOK: " & ActiveWorkbook.Name)
    If wbAnswer = vbYes Then
        ActiveWorkbook.Save
        Application.Quit
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If

End Sub
