VBA Email code (outlook) including email signature

[JoboM]

Hi gurus,

I've been using a code to email a defined range from an excel workbook. I'd like to also include my signature in the email. Could someone please advise me on how to include my signature?

My code is below. Thanks

'For Tips see: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/winmail/Outlook/tips.htm

Dim rng As Range
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim strbody As String

Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
'Only the visible cells in the selection
Set rng = Sheets("Monthly Reporting").Range("C8:G40").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
'You can also use a fixed range if you want
'Set rng = Sheets("YourSheet").Range("D4:D12").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0


If rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "The selection is not a range or the sheet is protected" & _
vbNewLine & "please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If


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


Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)


On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.SentOnBehalfOfName = ""
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.Subject = "Automated reporting email"
.body = Signature
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
.Display 'or use .Send
End With
On Error GoTo 0


With Application
.EnableEvents = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With


Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

Hi,

There are some tricks involved.

1. Before you change the body of the email you need to capture the contents.
2. This can then be added to your calculated HTML file.
3. To capture the signature you need to display the mailitem first.

I have added Ron de Bruin's RangeToHTML function to my reply in case someone else wants to understand what is happening.

Thanks! That worked perfectly!

Brilliant.

 

[JoboM]

Is it possible to take this one step further - I would like a condition on the code that says:

If the day = Friday and time = 4:00pm then send email, Else exit sub.

Is this possible?

 

[RickXL]

Probably, but how close to 4:00pm?

Is 16:00:01 too late to send it? In which case you will need to be quite quick!
Some sort of time range will be required.

Or do you want it to automatically send it at that time?

Regards,
