I currently use a code that generates an email fine with certain fields like To, CC, BCC, but I am not sure how to switch the "FROM" part of the email automatically.
Ie my email is here, but I want to automatically switch to another inbox,
I can do it manually when the email is generated via the drop down, but I am wondering if there are ways to do this automatically. I Tried adding .From to this existing code but does not work.
Here are the relevant snippets of code:
Dim OLook As Object, Mitem As Object, OlAttachment As Object
Dim fso As Object
Dim remail As Range
Dim acc As Object
Set Mitem = OLook.CreateItem(0)
With Mitem
'send to:
.To = send_list
'send from:
'.From = from_list
'cc to:
.CC = cc_list
'bcc to:
.BCC = bcc_list
.From = from_list is not a supported property.
Does anyone know how to alter this code to add the "From" parameter correctly?

Try this function
Function GetAccountOf(sEmailAddress As String, ByRef OLook As Object) As Object
Dim oAccount As Object
Set GetAccountOf = Nothing
For Each oAccount In OLook.Session.Accounts
If oAccount = sEmailAddress Then
Set GetAccountOf = oAccount
Exit Function
End If
Next oAccount
End Function
You can then replace the .From line with:
.SendUsingAccount = GetAccountOf("emailaddress#somewhere.com", OLook)
Edit: Follow-up to comments below:
If the above doesn't work then I suspect there's something with your outlook that is causing this. You need to think of ways/questions to help determine the problem, such as
Is the account you want to use completely set-up within outlook?
When you send email manually from this account does outlook ask you for password?
Try also to think of test code you can use to narrow down the possibilities that may be the cause of the problem. for example try to run these subroutines and see if the first code actually lists your desired account. Does the second code result in the account being Nothing? If so, perhaps an option is to delete the account and add it again to outlook, which may help reset something that was causing the problem.
Sub ShowAllAccounts()
Dim OLook As Object
Dim oAccount As Object
Set OLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
For Each oAccount In OLook.Session.Accounts
MsgBox oAccount.DisplayName
Next oAccount
End Sub
Sub DoesAccountExist()
Dim OLook As Object
Set OLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
If GetAccountOf("emailaddress#somewhere.com", OLook) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Account doesn't exist"
End If
End Sub
Try to make up some other code similar to this and please get back if you are still stuck.
Edit 2:
You need to make sure you set the SendUsingAccount property before you .Display your email: Outlook if funny like that :)
Try this:
Dim OLook As Object, Mitem As Object, OlAttachment As Object
Dim fso As Object
Dim remail As Range
Dim acc As Object
Set Mitem = OLook.CreateItem(0)
With Mitem
.SendUsingAccount = GetAccountOf("emailaddress#somewhere.com", OLook)
.Display
'send to:
.To = send_list
'send from:
'.From = from_list
'cc to:
.CC = cc_list
'bcc to:
.BCC = bcc_list
Try the next approach, please:
Sub SendUsingDifferentAccount()
Dim OLook As New Outlook.Application
Dim acc As Outlook.account
Dim Mitem As Outlook.MailItem
Set Mitem = OLook.CreateItem(0)
For Each acc In OLook.Session.accounts
If acc.DisplayName = "testaccount#yourdomain.com" Then
With Mitem
.To = "..."
.cc = "..."
.BCC = "..."
Set .SendUsingAccount = acc
.send
End With
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
If needs a reference to 'Microsoft Outlook ... Object Library. Or declare all above object variables As Object`. But it is better to reference Outlook. You can benefit of the intellisense advantage...
You can use the .SendUsingAccount property
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.mailitem.sendusingaccount
I use the following approach to send mails from a specific Outlook account (IMAP, no Exchange Server). The code relies on an already opened outlook instance (but that can easily be changed)

oSave = 1
oDisplay = 2
oSend = 4

Dim OutlookAccount As Outlook.Account
Set OutlookAccount = GetAccountByName(OutlookApp, AccountName)
If OutlookAccount Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Outlook account '" & AccountName & "' was not found!", vbCritical, "Outlook Account"
Exit Sub
End If
'send a mail from a specific account
SendMail OutlookApp, OutlookAccount, "send_to#acme.com", oDisplay, "" 'use TemplateFile as template if you don't want to create the mail from scratch.
End Sub
Public Sub SendMail(ByVal OutlookApp As Outlook.Application, ByVal OutlookAccount As Outlook.Account, ByVal MailTo As String, Optional ByVal MailAction As oCreateMail = 2, Optional ByVal TemplateFile As String)
Dim NewMail As Outlook.MailItem
If TemplateFile <> vbNullString Then
Set NewMail = OutlookApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(TemplateFile)
Else
Set NewMail = OutlookApp.Createitem(0)
End If
With NewMail
.SendUsingAccount = OutlookAccount
'remove a automatically added signature if necessary
'RemoveAutoSignature NewMail
'new email from scratch

'alternatively replace something in the template:

.To = MailTo
Select Case MailAction
Case oDisplay
.Display
Case oSend
.Send
Case oSave

End Select
End With
End Sub
Public Sub RemoveAutoSignature(ByRef Mail As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oDocument As Word.Document
Set oDocument = Mail.GetInspector.WordEditor
Dim oBookmark As Word.Bookmark
Set oBookmark = oDocument.Bookmarks.Item("_MailAutoSig")

Next oAccount

You can then replace the .From line with:
.SendUsingAccount = GetAccountOf("emailaddress#somewhere.com", OLook)
Edit: Follow-up to comments below:
If the above doesn't work then I suspect there's something with your outlook that is causing this. You need to think of ways/questions to help determine the problem, such as
Is the account you want to use completely set-up within outlook?
When you send email manually from this account does outlook ask you for password?
Try also to think of test code you can use to narrow down the possibilities that may be the cause of the problem. for example try to run these subroutines and see if the first code actually lists your desired account. Does the second code result in the account being Nothing? If so, perhaps an option is to delete the account and add it again to outlook, which may help reset something that was causing the problem.
Sub ShowAllAccounts()
Dim OLook As Object
Dim oAccount As Object
Set OLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
For Each oAccount In OLook.Session.Accounts
MsgBox oAccount.DisplayName
Next oAccount
End Sub
Sub DoesAccountExist()
Dim OLook As Object
Set OLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
If GetAccountOf("emailaddress#somewhere.com", OLook) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Account doesn't exist"
End If
End Sub
Try to make up some other code similar to this and please get back if you are still stuck.
Edit 2:
You need to make sure you set the SendUsingAccount property before you .Display your email: Outlook if funny like that :)
Try this:
Dim OLook As Object, Mitem As Object, OlAttachment As Object
Dim fso As Object
Dim remail As Range
Dim acc As Object
Set Mitem = OLook.CreateItem(0)
With Mitem
.SendUsingAccount = GetAccountOf("emailaddress#somewhere.com", OLook)
.Display
'send to:
.To = send_list
'send from:
'.From = from_list
'cc to:
.CC = cc_list
'bcc to:
.BCC = bcc_list
Try the next approach, please:
Sub SendUsingDifferentAccount()
Dim OLook As New Outlook.Application
Dim acc As Outlook.account
Dim Mitem As Outlook.MailItem
Set Mitem = OLook.CreateItem(0)
For Each acc In OLook.Session.accounts
If acc.DisplayName = "testaccount#yourdomain.com" Then
With Mitem
.To = "..."
.cc = "..."
.BCC = "..."
Set .SendUsingAccount = acc
.send
End With
Exit For
End If
Next

If needs a reference to 'Microsoft Outlook ... Object Library. Or declare all above object variables As Object`. But it is better to reference Outlook. You can benefit of the intellisense advantage...
You can use the .SendUsingAccount property

I use the following approach to send mails from a specific Outlook account (IMAP, no Exchange Server). The code relies on an already opened outlook instance (but that can easily be changed)

I am trying to add an attachment functionality to my emails. My email code is working however the attachments are being sent as ATT00001.bin files.
The variable Forms![frmMain]!TabCtl54.Pages("page56").Controls("subtblcontent").Form![attachmentlnk] is a textbox on a form which is where I would put my file name.
attachmentlnkvar = "file:///C:/Users/desktopname/Desktop/" & Forms![frmMain]!TabCtl54.Pages("page56").Controls("subtblcontent").Form![attachmentlnk] & ".pdf"
With cdomsg
.To = emailstr
.FROM = fromemailstr
.subject = Forms!frmMain.txtSubject
.Attachments.Add attachmentlnkvar
.HTMLBody = strHTML
.Send

Is there a way I can send my files as pdfs?

The variable AttachmentPath can contain multiple paths to attachments delimited by ";"
Don't use file:// etc., just the path. And backslashes.
attachmentlnkvar = "C:\Users\desktopname\Desktop\" & Forms![frmMain]!TabCtl54.Pages("page56").Controls("subtblcontent").Form![attachmentlnk] & ".pdf"
Instead of .Attachments.Add attachmentlnkvar have you tried .AddAttachment attachmentlnkvar? That's what I use to send PDF reports via an SMTP server instead of Outlook.
The problem is with your SMTP server. Try putting the attachment after the body to avoid this problem. If that doesn't work, try sending the message as plain text instead of HTML using:
.TextBody = bodyText
EXAMPLE:
attachmentlnkvar = "C:/Users/desktopname/Desktop/" & Forms![frmMain]!TabCtl54.Pages("page56").Controls("subtblcontent").Form![attachmentlnk] & ".pdf"
With cdomsg
.To = emailstr
.FROM = fromemailstr
