Hi Guys and Gals,

I have a file with some VBA that work brilliantly for me. However, I need to move the location of it, currently sitting on the desktop, b ut when I move it, I get an error in the VBA.

Sub PDFTOEMAIL()
Dim olApp As Object
Sheet1.Unprotect Password:=""
Path = "C:\Users\EPC\Dropbox\Payment Applications" ' pls adjust
Salesman = ActiveSheet.Name
If i > 1 Then PDF_File = Left(PDF_File, i - 1)
PDF_File = Path & Salesman & ".pdf"

Cells.Select
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Range("A1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>"
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-9

With ActiveSheet
.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDF_File, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
End With

On Error Resume Next
Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err Then
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0

With olApp.CreateItem(0)
.Subject = "Payment Application"
.To = Range("G17").Value
.Body = "Hi " & Range("m16").Value & vbLf & vbLf _
& "Please find attached Payment Application." & vbLf & vbLf _
& "Kind Regards," & vbLf & vbLf _
& "James"
.Attachments.Add PDF_File
.Save
.Display

End With

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1
Rows("2:4").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Range("C16:E16,C19,E19,C21").Select
Range("C21").Activate
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 40
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
Range("A23:E160").Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 40
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=141
Range("E165").Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 40
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-174
Range("C10").Select

Sheet1.Protect Password:=""
' if you want to delete it
'Kill PDF_File

Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub

This is where it errors out;
With ActiveSheet
.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDF_File, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
End With


Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

Mucho Thankso

James
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
I am such an idiot.

I worked it out. It only took me three weeks!!

I was actually moving the file to a different computer, via TeamViewer and, of course, the other computer has a different name, so the Path is incorrect.

Path = "C:\Users\EPC\Dropbox\Payment Applications"

"EPC" is the name of the computer it works on. "HUY" is the name of the other computer

I am such a lemon.

Shortened it a little

Code:
Sub PDFTOEMAIL()
Dim olApp As Object
Sheet1.Unprotect Password:=""
Path = "C:\Users\EPC\Dropbox\Payment Applications" ' pls adjust
Salesman = ActiveSheet.Name
If i > 1 Then PDF_File = Left(PDF_File, i - 1)
PDF_File = Path & Salesman & ".pdf"
Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Range("A1").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>"
    With ActiveSheet
        .ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDF_File, _
        Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
    End With
On Error Resume Next
Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err Then
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
    With olApp.CreateItem(0)
        .Subject = "Payment Application"
        .To = Range("G17").Value
        .Body = "Hi " & Range("m16").Value & vbLf & vbLf _
        & "Please find attached Payment Application." & vbLf & vbLf _
        & "Kind Regards," & vbLf & vbLf _
        & "James"
        .Attachments.Add PDF_File
        .Save
        .Display
    End With
Rows("2:4").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Range("C21").Activate
    With Range("C16:E16,C19,E19,C21,A23:E160,E165").Interior
        .ColorIndex = 40
        .Pattern = xlSolid
    End With
End With
Range("C10").Select
Sheet1.Protect Password:=""
' if you want to delete it
'Kill PDF_File
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub
This is where it errors out;
    With ActiveSheet
        .ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDF_File, _
        Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
    End With
End Sub
