Hi,

I am wondering if anyone can help.

I am looking to use VBA to email a range on the active sheet the button is on. Range is B7:M33.

I would like the range to be attached to an email in PDF format, I have a another sheet called "Setup" which has the email addresses, subject and body. I am confident coding the to/cc/subject/body etc, however I am having issues creating the PDF.

Ideally I don't want the coding to save the PDF, or if it does have to be saved, can it be saved to desktop and then deleted after the email is sent automatically?

Thank you in advance for any help.

ps. I am using Office 360 so the latest version of excel 2016 if this makes a difference.

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Try this, changing the name of the PDF file where indicated. The email settings are in the "Setup" sheet cells B1:B4.
Code:
Public Sub Email_Range_In_PDF()

    Dim saveRange As Range
    Dim setupSheet As Worksheet
    Dim PDFfile As String
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object
    
    Set saveRange = ActiveSheet.Range("B7:M33")
    Set setupSheet = Worksheets("Setup")
    
    PDFfile = Environ("temp") & "\Range B7 To M33.pdf"      'CHANGE FILE NAME

    saveRange.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDFfile, _
        Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False

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

    On Error Resume Next
    With OutMail
        .To = setupSheet.Range("B1").Value
        .CC = setupSheet.Range("B2").Value
        .Subject = setupSheet.Range("B3").Value
        .Body = setupSheet.Range("B4").Value
        .Attachments.Add PDFfile
        .Send
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    Kill PDFfile
    
    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing

End Sub
