I have the following from a post. Can it be revised to send only the active worksheet rather than the whole workbook?

Thanks for the original code below which attaches and sends the active workbook through Lotus Notes.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I removed the:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
MailDoc.PostedDate = Now()
On Error GoTo errorhandler1
MailDoc.Send 0, Recipient<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
...and replaced it with:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Set workspace = CreateObject("Notes.NotesUIWorkspace")
Call workspace.EDITDOCUMENT(True, MailDoc).GOTOFIELD("Body")<o:p></o:p>
(I found this in http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18259)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
...which keeps the email message open instead of sending.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Also, I changed the Recipient to ccRecipient, so the user can type whichever email address he needs to address to from his custom drop-down list within Lotus Notes, and type his message in the body of the email. This is the setup that is most useful for my purposes.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The only thing I'm having trouble with is:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
1. After the user revises the workbook, but forgets to click save, if the user runs the code, it will send the workbook WITHOUT the revisions. How can I integrate coding within this same module to save the workbook before attaching it to the email?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
2. How can I disable the dialog box that pops up, which the user needs to click OK? It's the dialog box that contains the FilePath of the workbook. I tried setting DisplayAlerts to False, but that didn't work. I'm new to <acronym title="visual basic for applications" style="border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); cursor: help;">VBA</acronym>. I just want the code to run and open the email message without that dialog box.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
3. When the code is run, the Lotus Notes email message window remains in the background behind all the other open windows. How can I get it to pop up in front of all the other windows automatically?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
NateO, below is your code, which I modified per my comments above:<o:p></o:p>

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Add this code to save the active sheet as a .xlsx file:
Code:
    Dim fileName
    
    fileName = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & ActiveSheet.Name & ".xlsx"
    ActiveSheet.Copy
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs fileName
    ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
and change the EmbedObject line to:
Rich (BB code):
Set EmbedObj1 = AttachME.EmbedObject(1454, "attachment1", fileName, "")
and delete the now redundant lines referring to attachment1.

So would I change it to look like this?

Code:
Sub LotusNotsSendActiveWorkbook()'Send an e-mail & attachment using Lotus Not(s)
'Original Code by Nate Oliver (NateO)
'Declare Variables for file and macro setup
Dim UserName As String, MailDbName As String, ccRecipient As String, attachment1 As String
Dim Maildb As Object, MailDoc As Object, AttachME As Object, Session As Object
Dim EmbedObj1 As Object
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.DisplayAlerts = False


' Open and locate current LOTUS NOTES User
Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
UserName = Session.UserName
MailDbName = _
Left$(UserName, 1) & Right$(UserName, (Len(UserName) - InStr(1, UserName, " "))) & ".nsf"
Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", MailDbName)
If Maildb.IsOpen = True Then
Else
Maildb.OPENMAIL
End If


' Create New Mail and Address Title Handlers
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CreateDocument
MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
' Select range of e-mail addresses
ccRecipient = "misty.wood@horcros.com"
' Or send to a signle address
' Recipient = "yourname@isp.com"
MailDoc.CopyTo = ccRecipient
' Subject & Body stored in a**worksheet
' MailDoc.Subject = Sheets("EmailSheet").Range("C2").Value
' MailDoc.Body = Sheets("EmailSheet").Range("ENTER CELL OF BODY").Value
' These can be entered here manually instead
MailDoc.Subject = "New Order"
MailDoc.Body = "Ready to print SO# "


' Select Workbook to Attach to E-Mail
  [COLOR=#ff0000]  Dim fileName
    [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]    fileName = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & ActiveSheet.Name & ".xlsx"
    ActiveSheet.Copy
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs fileName
    ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False[/COLOR]
MailDoc.SaveMessageOnSend = True
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.FullName
attachment1 = ActiveWorkbook.FullName[COLOR=#FF0000] ---  THIS ROW GETS DELETED[/COLOR]
If attachment1 <> "" Then[COLOR=#FF0000] ---  THIS ROW GETS DELETED[/COLOR]

End If


'Displays email message without sending; user needs to click Send
Set workspace = CreateObject("Notes.NotesUIWorkspace")
Call workspace.EDITDOCUMENT(True, MailDoc).GOTOFIELD("Body")


Set Maildb = Nothing
Set MailDoc = Nothing
Set AttachME = Nothing
Set Session = Nothing
Set EmbedObj1 = Nothing


.ScreenUpdating = True
.DisplayAlerts = True
End With


errorhandler1:


Set Maildb = Nothing
Set MailDoc = Nothing
Set AttachME = Nothing
Set Session = Nothing
Set EmbedObj1 = Nothing


End Sub

Yes - it looks correct, but you'll find that you need the Set AttachME line (I should have said the attachment1 variable). Why not try it and see if it works?

It says I don't have a beginning If to my End If...

Code:
' Select Workbook to Attach to E-MailDim fileName
    
fileName = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & ActiveSheet.Name & ".xlsx"
ActiveSheet.Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs fileName
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
MailDoc.SaveMessageOnSend = True
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.FullName
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM("attachment1")
Set EmbedObj1 = AttachME.EmbedObject(1454, "attachment1", fileName, "")
On Error Resume Next
End If
