I have a macro that will transfer the data from the current worksheet to a transfer worksheet, open an email, attach the transfer worksheet, enter the email address on the to and CC lines, enter a subject and a body message. I would like to extract the first and last name as well as the users email, to add to the body of the email message. I have included my code below. I don't know how to get the information from outlook for the users name and email address. Once I have the users name, I would like to be able to parse out the first and last names.


VBA Code:
Sub EMAIL_CORRECTIONS()

    Dim Source As Range
    Dim Dest As Workbook
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim empFilePath As String
    Dim TempFileName As String
    Dim ToAdd As String
    Dim CCAdd As String
    Dim EM_Body As String
            
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object
    Dim Lrow As Long
    
'   Define the list of email addresses to send list to.
    ToAdd = Sheets("Intro Page").Range("AA26").Value
'    CCAdd = Sheets("Intro Page").Range("AA27").Value

'   Sheets("Corrections").Unprotect

'   Define last row of data
    Sheets("Corrections").Activate
    LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

    Sheets("Corrections").Range("A6:C" & LastRow).Copy

'   Paste a copy of the list on the transfer page
    Sheets("Transfer Page").Visible = True
    Sheets("Transfer Page").Range("A2").PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)

'   Define last row of data on the Transfer page
    Sheets("Transfer Page").Select
    Lrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row


'   Define the block of data to create a sheet from.
    Set Source = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    Set Source = Sheets("Transfer Page").Range("A1:C" & Lrow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    On Error GoTo 0

    Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
    Set Dest = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)
    Source.Copy
    With Dest.Sheets(1)
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
        .Cells(1).Select
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
    End With
    
    TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
    TempFileName = "Data Corrections" & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yyyy")
                
    FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51

    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
    
    With Dest
        .SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, _
                FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
        On Error Resume Next
        With OutMail
            .To = ToAdd
'            .CC = CCAdd
'            .BCC = ""
            .Subject = "Data Corrections for " & Sheets("Intro Page").Range("C4") & " - Please Review"
            .HTMLBody = "<html><body lang=EN-US link='#0563C1' vlink='#954F72'>" & _
                "<span style='font-size:12.5pt'>Greetings,<o:p><br><br>" & _
                "<span style='font-size:12.5pt'>The attached list of Part Numbers are not found.<o:p>" & _
                "</p><span style='font-size:12.5pt'>Please review the list and initiate corrections/additions to the data table." & _
                "</body></html>" '& GetEmailSig
            .BodyFormat = 2 'html format
            .Attachments.Add Dest.FullName
            '.Send
            .Display
        End With
        On Error GoTo 0
        .Close SaveChanges:=False
    End With
    
    Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr
    
    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing

'   Clear Data from transfer page
    Sheets("Transfer Page").Activate
    Sheets("Transfer Page").Range("A2:C" & Lrow).EntireRow.Delete
    Sheets("Transfer Page").Range("A2").Select
    Sheets("Transfer Page").Visible = False
    Sheets("Mechanical table").Select

End Sub
