VBA email signature from secondary account

[dotsent]

I have a problem choosing the correct signature when sending mail from Excel via Outlook (Office365). I have 2 accounts set up in Outlook, one is primary email and the other is secondary email with both having different default signatures. Secondary email is a shared mailbox, but added as a separate account with full rights. The goal is to both send out and add the signature from the secondary account.

.Display opens up new mail item while adding Outlook's signature and .SentOnBehalfOfName even shows the secondary account in FROM panel (and also sends out the mail from that account), however Outlook still grabs the signature from primary email account.

In case I manually choose (or re-select) the secondary account from the mail message's FROM drop-down menu, Outlook will change the signature to the right one, however that's really not an option as I'm looking to automate this (uncomment .Send) and run this code in a loop for a few times in a row. I did try making the secondary address as the default address, however ran into additional problems and felt there should be a better way to handle this.

Any ideas please?

I have tried the option of linking to the AppData folder to grab the signature HTML file, however it does have a pic included which appears to be a problem.

Sub Email()
    
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object
      
    On Error Resume Next
    
    On Error GoTo 0

    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 = "secondary@email.com"
        .Display
        .To = "test@email.com"
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "mySubject"
        .HTMLBody = "[FONT=calibri][SIZE=3]mailBody text[/SIZE][/FONT]" & .HTMLBody
        '.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, me too having the same problem. If one of you could help me, that would be very much appreciated.

ok, figure it out... simply as always... you just have to put the set .SendUsingAccount right after With objMail:

With objMail
Set .SendUsingAccount

I'm having the same problem. Do you have the full code with the following in it. I'm having trouble getting it to work.
With objMail
Set .SendUsingAccount

Does anyone have the full code for this? The accepted answer is incredibly ambiguous and I'm still not understanding. Any help is greatly appreciated!
