Dear Forumers,

I really need your help. I am new to this whole VBA coding thing have no basic at all in programming and stuff so please help me out here. I am currently assigned a project where I have to create a excel sheet which act as a templete for sending request. The requirement of the project is that I need a vba code for a button when i click it, it will convert my active sheet alone to pdf, automatically save it with the title captured from a cell in the active sheet which is entered by the user. Email this pdf as a attachment to the specific person. Please help me out, my job depends on this project please guys out there.

Thank you
 
For it to be "proof" you would somehow need a copy of the email AFTER it is sent, so the code would need to wait for the user to finish working on the email, then pull it from the Sent mailbox in outlook, then save it.

A couple of easier methods would provide you the proof you need:


  1. You could simply add a .BCC to your code:
    Code:
        .BCC = "mySecureEmail@abc.com"
  2. You can create a rule in outlook that will take any email with, for example, "completed case review" in the body and either move a copy to another folder in outlook or forward a copy to a secure email of your choice

Both methods provide you full proof and if you use an external web based email to copy it to, then you can save yourself the local storage space as well.

If you just want to save a copy of the pdf you are attaching to a network drive, that is much simpler and we can definitely accomplish that, but that does not provide any proof the email was actually sent.:cool:

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
I appreciate the other methods suggested. Unfortunately, I do need the pdf copy of the email AFTER it is sent to be saved on our Z drive. I would change the subject line of the email to "Completed Case Review". Every user will have a CutePDF Writer identified as a printer in their Outlook program, since not everybody has Adobe. If it is possible for the code to immediately access (after the user presses send) the last email with Completed Case Review in the subject line in their Sent mailbox in Outlook and save it as a pdf on the Z drive, please let me know. Otherwise, I may have to have the users manually take care of this, or bcc myself and I would take care of it for them. We have 500-600 of these annually, so automating it is definitely preferred.

If you have any more ideas, please let me know. I really appreciate your assistance. Thanks very much!:help:

I'm sure it is possible, since well just about anything is possible with enough code and we are already controlling outlook from an excel vba script, however, that would be beyond my level of expertise which is pretty much limited to this thread! :biggrin: I would recommend starting a new thread as this thread is quite old and I am the only one who responds anymore. Let me see what I can do though.

I would think this would be easier to accomplish if the entire email was filled out and sent from the code, then we would only need to figure out how to grab the email from the sent folder.

Is the only reason the user sends the email so they can enter email addresses? You could simply have a few cells on the worksheet for entering emails then just pull the value from those cells with your code to fill out the email:

Code:
.Subject = Title    
    .To = ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Value 
    .CC = ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Value 
    .BCC = ActiveSheet.Range("A3").Value

Then use .Send instead of .Display

Then our next piece of code will hopefully grab any email from the sent folder with key words in the subject and print it to pdf and save it. I'll get back to you, but start a new thread and let me know if you get a solution before I do.

I've got a solution that requires a combination of your excel script and a rule in outlook that has a rule set to run a script on emails sent with certain key words. Are you still interested?

Thank you for all your help! I made just a few tweaks, but when I run the code, I get a Run-time error '5' Invalid procedure call or argument.

When I step through, the following repeats over and over again.

If olItem.Class = olMail Then
If olItem.Subject = Esub Then '<-- check for match
SaveAsPDF olItem '< - Call SaveAsPDF code
End If
End If
Next

Can you help?

You modified the filename when you changed the format of sendTime. Colon's are not a valid character in a filename.
Also, make sure you have checked the references required:

I removed the colons. I have the required references checked.

Dude, you're kiddin me, right?:confused:

You got rid of the colons but added a Slash! That also is not an acceptable character in a filename.:hammer:


Go to any file on your computer and rename it. If you try to put a slash or colon, you will get a popup warning that lists all of the characters that are not acceptable. Check it out.
