Macro button to send sheets in an email

[XL Bruiser]

Hello,

I have a workbook that I am creating for Work orders for our business. There are about 6 sheets that have different templates for different repairs. IE sheet one - Heater repairs, sheet two - plumbing repairs, etc.

The goal is to be able to fill out these sheets and then hit the send email macro button and have it generate an email in outlook with those specific sheets attached.

The issue im having is that I don't want to send ALL sheets at once, just the ones that are filled out with the maintenance requests. So we need to be able to specify which sheets are to be attached each time we hit the macro.

Any help is appreciated!

Have you got any code already?

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    
    ' SET Outlook APPLICATION OBJECT.
    Dim objOutlook As Object
    Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    
    ' CREATE EMAIL OBJECT.
    Dim objEmail As Object
    Set objEmail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

    With objEmail
        .to = "XXXXXX@XXXXXX.com"
        .Subject = "Test"
        .Body = "Test"
        .Attachments.Add Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName
        .Display           ' DISPLAY MESSAGE.
    End With
    
    ' CLEAR.
    Set objEmail = Nothing:    Set objOutlook = Nothing
        
ErrHandler:
    '
End Sub

Make a control sheet, say column A with the sheet names in it A2 through to A7 and then have in column B either Yes or No, indicating if you want to create an email for that tab. The following code checks to see if there is a yes next to the tabname and if so, creates a file with just that tab in it, saves it to a temp drive and then puts it in an email as per your code - with the small change of where the attachment comes from. It then moves on to the next tabname as per your control sheet until the row number = 8.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click(tabname)
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    
    ' SET Outlook APPLICATION OBJECT.
    Dim objOutlook As Object
    Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    
    ' CREATE EMAIL OBJECT.
    Dim objEmail As Object
    Set objEmail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

    With objEmail
        .to = "XXXXXX@XXXXXX.com"
        .Subject = "Test"
        .Body = "Test"
        .Attachments.Add (Environ("temp") & "\" & tabname & ".xlsx")
        .Display           ' DISPLAY MESSAGE.
    End With
    
    ' CLEAR.
    Set objEmail = Nothing:    Set objOutlook = Nothing
        
ErrHandler:
    '
End Sub


Sub CreateSendFile()


Rownum = 2  '''This is where you should list your filenames

Do Until Rownum = 8

tabname = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rownum, 1).Value
SendFile = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rownum, 2).Value


If SendFile = "Yes" Then
    Sheets(tabname).Copy
    MailName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Environ("temp") & "\" & tabname & ".xlsx"
    
    Call CommandButton1_Click(tabname)
    
    Workbooks(ThisWorkbook.Name).Activate
    Sheets("Sheet1").Select

    Else
End If

Rownum = Rownum + 1
Loop

End Sub

Will all of the emails go to the same person?
