Hi guys,

I have this code that automatically sends emails from my excel model on outlook. Can anyone suggest a straightforward (or otherwise) tweak that will enable it to send attachments??

Code:

Sub SendRunRequest()

Dim Msg As String
Dim olApp As Object
Dim olEmail As Object
Dim SendAt As String
Dim SendTo As String
Dim Sendcc As String
Dim Subj As String

Dim resp As Long

Calculate




recipient = Range("f27").Value
ReqCC = Range("f28").Value
subje = Range("f29").Value
mes = Range("f31").Value


SendTo = recipient
Sendcc = ReqCC
Subj = subje
Msg = mes

'SendAt = "10/19/2008 12:30am" 'Date-Time must be in this format

On Error Resume Next
Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err = 429 Then
Err.Clear
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
olApp.Session.Logon

Set olEmail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With olEmail
' .DeferredDeliveryTime = SendAt
.To = SendTo
.cc = Sendcc
.Subject = Subj
.Body = Msg

resp = MsgBox(Prompt:="Are you sure you want to send off this email?", _
Buttons:=vbYesNo, Title:="Warning")

If resp = vbYes Then
.Send
MsgBox "Email sent!"
End If

End With

olApp.Session.Logoff

Set olApp = Nothing
Set olEmail = Nothing


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Where you have

.Body = Msg
.Attachments.Add (ActiveWorkbook.FullName or file location and book name.xlsx etc.)

Thanks for that but its saying "object does not support this property or object" in the error and falling over at the .attachement.add line:

even tried another .add with full hardcoded directory path and still nothing ... any thoughts?

Dim Msg As String
Dim olApp As Object
Dim olEmail As Object
Dim SendAt As String
Dim SendTo As String
Dim Sendcc As String
Dim Subj As String

Dim resp As Long

recipient = Range("f27").Value
ReqCC = Range("f28").Value
subje = Range("f29").Value
mes = Range("f31").Value
attache = Range("attache").Value
attachepath = Range("attachePath").Value
attachement = attachepath & "" & attachepath
SendTo = recipient
Sendcc = ReqCC
Subj = subje
Msg = mes

'SendAt = "10/19/2008 12:30am" 'Date-Time must be in this format

On Error Resume Next
Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")

'.attachement.Add (attchmnt)
.attachement.Add ("C:\Users\POBEK\Documents\Professional\POBEK\POBEK Consulting\Buss\Industry\Payroll\Staff 1 Dated 6 - 2017.pdf")

Looks like a typo? Unless this is a different language.

Apart from that, it looks identical to what I use.

One of these SHOULD work

.attachments.Add (
attachement)
.attachments.Add ("C:\Users\POBEK\Documents\Professional\POBEK\POBEK Consulting\Buss\Industry\Payroll\Staff 1 Dated 6 - 2017.pdf")
.attachments.Add "C:\Users\POBEK\Documents\Professional\POBEK\POBEK Consulting\Buss\Industry\Payroll\Staff 1 Dated 6 - 2017.pdf"

Here's my full code. There's a while before it gets to the email.

I have used your other examples before as well though. FYI i'm using Excel 2013

Code:
Sub exportdaily()


Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False




Dim rng As Range
Dim Rng1 As String 'reporting day name
Dim rng2 As String 'name of reporting day in daily tab

Dim rng8 As String

    Worksheets(Array("Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Data List", "Week To Date")).Copy
End If

Hey this works:

recipient = Range("f27").Value
ReqCC = Range("f28").Value
subje = Range("f29").Value
mes = Range("f31").Value
attache = Range("attache").Value
attachepath = Range("attachePath").Value
attchmnt = attachepath & "" & attachepath
SendTo = recipient
Sendcc = ReqCC
Subj = subje
Msg = mes

'SendAt = "10/19/2008 12:30am" 'Date-Time must be in this format

On Error Resume Next
Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err = 429 Then
Err.Clear
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
olApp.Session.Logon

Set olEmail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With olEmail
' .DeferredDeliveryTime = SendAt
.To = SendTo
.cc = Sendcc
.Subject = Subj
.Body = Msg
'.attachments.Add (attchmnt & ".pdf")
.attachments.Add ("C:\Users\POBEK\Documents\Professional\POBEK\POBEK Consulting\Buss\Industry\Payroll\Staff 1 Dated 6 - 2017.pdf")



but I need to be able to parameterize the path of the attchment i.e I need to be able to refer to it as an input. Any suggestion as to how I can get the commented out: '.attachments.Add (attchmnt & ".pdf") to work?

Is just the file name the variable?

Try adding these:

dim
attache as string
dim attachepath as string

attache = Range("attache").Value 'needs to equal "
Staff 1 Dated 6 - 2017.pdf"
attachepath = Range("attachePath").Value 'needs to equal "C:\Users\POBEK\Documents\Professional\POBEK\POBEK Consulting\Buss\Industry\Payroll"
attchmnt = attachepath & "" & attache

.attachments.Add (
attchmnt)

I was being absolutely retarded! Reason it didnt work was because I was attaching the path to the PATH as opposed to attaching FILE to path (in my defense it is 12:30 midnight here:). Anyway all done now. THANKS A LOT!!!!
