I get the following error "Object variable or With block variable not set" when I run the below code on a MAC however on a windows PC it works fine

VBA Code:
Option Explicit


Sub create_and_email_pdf()


Dim EmailSubject As String, EmailSignature As String
Dim CurrentMonth As String, DestFolder As String, PDFFile As String
Dim Email_To As String, Email_CC As String, Email_BCC As String
Dim OpenPDFAfterCreating As Boolean, AlwaysOverwritePDF As Boolean, DisplayEmail As Boolean
Dim OverwritePDF As VbMsgBoxResult
Dim OutlookApp As Object, OutlookMail As Object
Dim strbody As String
CurrentMonth = ""

    EmailSubject = "The file you were looking for"

    DisplayEmail = False 'Change this if you don't want to display the email before sending.  Note, you must have a TO email address specified for this to work
    Email_To = ActiveSheet.Range("J1")
    Email_CC = ""
    Email_BCC = ""

            Exit Sub
            
        End If

        End If
        
    End With
    
 
End Sub


Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it?

To the best of my recollection. FileDialog doesn't work on a Mac. I'd suggest you have a read of Ron's pages here if you need to work with Macs as well as PCs.

Thanks for that mate will check it out, looks like you need to install a script file for it all to work, long story short is do not use MACs for this function, when will people learn!
