Hi Everyone,

I am hoping someone will be able to help me out on the below, as I am stumped and only so long I can stair at my screen with a blank expression as I pour through google/ forums with no luck :laugh:

So as the title suggests I am setting up a mail merge tool, and I have got it working but would like to expand on what I currently have, but unsure if it is possible or not.

Currently the tool looks in a folder and adds all PDF's within to a column within Excel, this then uses some formula to get the email address and other information that will be needed to send these documents out to the recipients, and then looks at another tab for the Subject Line and Text to be added to the email (This all works fine)

What I would like to do if possible, is have the Subject line (preferably) different for each mail sent out, rather than a static one that is typed in, so it would look at something unique for each email say the Reference Number and add this into the Subject Line.
(although the main body of text is also an option, but if the subject line is possible I would assume it would be the same coding)

Here is the coding that I have so far (Highlighted the Subject Line Code in Bold Red)
As I said I don't know if this is possible or not, but would like to know one way or the other so I can stop going crazy trying to figure this out.

Code:
Sub Send_Files()    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object
    Dim sh As Worksheet
    Dim cell As Range
    Dim FileCell As Range
    Dim rng As Range


    With Application
        .EnableEvents = False
        .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With


    Set sh = Sheets("Distribution")


    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")


    For Each cell In sh.Columns("B").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)


               Set rng = sh.Cells(cell.Row, 1).Range("C1:d1")


        If cell.Value Like "?*@?*.?*" And _
           Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) > 0 Then
            Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)


            With OutMail
                .to = cell.Value
                [COLOR=#ff0000][B].Subject = Sheets("E-Mail Text").Range("B3").Value[/B][/COLOR]
                .Body = Sheets("E-Mail Text").Range("B6").Value


                For Each FileCell In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
                    If Trim(FileCell) <> "" Then
                        If Dir(FileCell.Value) <> "" Then
                            .Attachments.Add FileCell.Value
                        End If
                    End If
                Next FileCell


                .Send
            End With


       
            Set OutMail = Nothing
        End If
    Next cell


    Set OutApp = Nothing
    With Application
        .EnableEvents = True
        .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With
        'Message box
   MsgBox "Finished"
    
End Sub

Thanks Everyone
