Hi All, I have the below code to send the Print Area as a PDF to the E-mail address entered in the worksheet.

It was working all good initially and now states that "Outlook does not recognize one or more names" pointing to the ".send".

Also, is there a way this Macro can name the file "C2" & "-" & "F4"

VBA Code:
Public Sub Send_Email_For_Print_Area()

    Dim destFolder As String, PDFfile As String
    Dim printRange As Range
    Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem

    Set OutApp = New Outlook.Application
    
    'PDF file for print range is temporarily saved in same folder as this workbook
    
    destFolder = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
    If Right(destFolder, 1) <> "\" Then destFolder = destFolder & "\"
    
    If ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea <> "" Then
    
        'Save print area for active sheet as a PDF file, file name from cell E2 and cell I7
        
        PDFfile = destFolder & ActiveSheet.Range("f4").Value & ".pdf"
        Set printRange = Range(ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea)
        printRange.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDFfile, _
            Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
    
        'Send email to address in cell O3 of active sheet with PDF file attached
        
        Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
        With OutMail
            .To = ActiveSheet.Range("O3").Value
            .Subject = "Claim"
            .Body = "Please find attached the claim for this month."
            .Attachments.Add PDFfile
            .Send
        End With

        'Delete the temporary PDF file
        
        Kill PDFfile
    
        Set OutMail = Nothing
        Set OutApp = Nothing
    
    End If
    
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
What is the result of PDFfile?

If you change the code to this, you wouldn't require the Outlook library.

VBA Code:
Sub Button1_Click()
    Dim destFolder As String, PDFfile As String
    Dim printRange As Range
    Dim OutMail As Object

    
    'PDF file for print range is temporarily saved in same folder as this workbook
    
    destFolder = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
    If Right(destFolder, 1) <> "\" Then destFolder = destFolder & "\"
    
    If ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea <> "" Then
    
        'Save print area for active sheet as a PDF file, file name from cell E2 and cell I7
        
        PDFfile = destFolder & ActiveSheet.Range("f4").Value & "-" & ActiveSheet.Range("c2").Value & ".pdf"
        Set printRange = Range(ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea)
        printRange.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDFfile, _
                                       Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
    
        'Send email to address in cell O3 of active sheet with PDF file attached
        
        Set OutMail = CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(0)
        With OutMail
            .To = ActiveSheet.Range("O3").Value
            .Subject = "Claim"
            .Body = "Please find attached the claim for this month."
            .Attachments.Add PDFfile
            .display
            '.Send
        End With

        'Delete the temporary PDF file
        
        Kill PDFfile
    
        Set OutMail = Nothing
        Set OutApp = Nothing
    
    End If
    
End Sub
