Paste Excel range to Outlook email body - vba

Question

I want to copy data from a fixed range in an Excel sheet and paste on an email body.
Below is the code I have come up with. However I am not able to paste the specified range A11:H12.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
' SET Outlook APPLICATION OBJECT.
Dim objOutlook As Object
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' CREATE EMAIL OBJECT.
Dim objEmail As Object
Set objEmail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objEmail
.To = "email"
.Subject = "test"
.Body = ActiveSheet.Range("A11:H12").Select
.Display ' DISPLAY MESSAGE.
End With
' CLEAR.
Set objEmail = Nothing: Set objOutlook = Nothing
ErrHandler:
'
End Sub

Answer 1

as in the comments Ron has this figured. The bellow code and function does the trick. Copy them both
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
' SET Outlook APPLICATION OBJECT.
Dim rng As Range
Dim objOutlook As Object
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A11:H12").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
' CREATE EMAIL OBJECT.
Dim objEmail As Object
Set objEmail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objEmail
.To = "email"
.Subject = "test"
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
.Display ' DISPLAY MESSAGE.
End With
' CLEAR.
Set objEmail = Nothing:
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
Function RangetoHTML(rng As Range)

Dim fso As Object
Dim ts As Object
Dim TempFile As String
Dim TempWB As Workbook
TempFile = Environ$("temp") & "\" & Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss") & ".htm"
'Copy the range and create a new workbook to past the data in
rng.Copy
Set TempWB = Workbooks.Add(1)
With TempWB.Sheets(1)
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, , False, False
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats, , False, False
.Cells(1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
On Error Resume Next
.DrawingObjects.Visible = True
.DrawingObjects.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End With
'Publish the sheet to a htm file
With TempWB.PublishObjects.Add( _
SourceType:=xlSourceRange, _
Filename:=TempFile, _
Sheet:=TempWB.Sheets(1).Name, _
Source:=TempWB.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Address, _
HtmlType:=xlHtmlStatic)
.Publish (True)
End With
'Read all data from the htm file into RangetoHTML
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.GetFile(TempFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
RangetoHTML = ts.readall
ts.Close
RangetoHTML = Replace(RangetoHTML, "align=center x:publishsource=", _
"align=left x:publishsource=")
'Close TempWB
TempWB.Close savechanges:=False
'Delete the htm file we used in this function
Kill TempFile
Set ts = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
Set TempWB = Nothing
End Function

'ajust number of sheet
.To = Sheet17.[b1].Value 'e-mail adress
.Subject = Sheet17.[b2].Value 'subject of e-mail
.Body = Sheet17.[b3].Value 'body of e-mail
