I tried to create table in outlook email by using VBA. I know that we can use Htmlbody with table tab to create table. Something like below code
Sub Test
Set oolApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set Email = oolApp.CreateItem(0)
Dim MailBody As String
MailBody = "<table border=1>"
MailBody = MailBody & "<tr><td>" & "aaa" & "</td>" & "<td>" & "bbb" & "</td>" & "<td>" & "bbb" & "</td></tr>"
MailBody = MailBody & "<tr><td>" & "123" & "</td>" & "<td>" & "456" & "</td>" & "<td>" & "789" & "</td></tr>"
MailBody = MailBody & "</table>"
Email.HTMLBody = MailBody
Email.display
End Sub
But I would like to use template table in Table Tool -> Design to make table more beautiful. Is there anyway to do it with VBA code.
You could instead, create the table manually and save as an .oft file.
Option Explicit
Sub ThreeColumnGreenStripeTable
Dim Email as mailitem
Set Email = CreateItemFromTemplate("path to ThreeColumnGreenStripeTable.oft")
Email.display
End Sub

Sample content of the existing email:
01131004378-Item1
01121109880-Item2
01983345661-Item3
The macro should extract the numbers from the existing email based on the regex pattern and then display it in a new composed email.
Sub GetValue()
Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim Selection As Selection
Dim obj As Object
Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1)
Set Selection = ActiveExplorer.Selection
For Each obj In Selection
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Dim rxp13 As New RegExp
rxp13.Pattern = "(\d{11}(?=[-]))"
rxp13.Global = True
Dim m13 As Match, c13 As MatchCollection
Set c13 = rxp13.Execute(olMail.Body)
Dim item As String
For Each m13 In c13
item = m13.SubMatches(0)
Next
'......DISPLAY EMAIL ......
'--------------------------
With objMsg
.To = "mail#test.com"
.Subject = obj.Subject
.HTMLBody = _
"<HTML><BODY>" & _
"<div style='font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana'>" & _
"<table style='font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana'>" & _
"<tr><td><strong>ITEMS</strong></td></tr>" & _
"<tr>" & _
"<td>" & item & "</td>" & _
"</tr>" & _
"</table>" & _
"</div>" & _
"</BODY></HTML>"
.Display
End With
Set objMsg = Nothing
'----------------------------------------------------------------
Next
End Sub
The expected result:
01131004378
01121109880
01983345661
I only got the last one:
01983345661
How to display all the values from the for each loop and put it into the "<td>" & item & "</td>"?
This is because your code was replacing previous item values.
Try this code:
Sub test1()
Const txt = "01131004378-Item1" & vbLf & "01121109880-Item2" & vbLf & "01983345661-Item3"
Const pattern = "<td>#</td>"
Dim rxp13 As New RegExp, m13 As Match, c13 As MatchCollection, item As String
rxp13.pattern = "\d{11}(?=[-])"
rxp13.Global = True
Set c13 = rxp13.Execute(txt)
If c13.Count Then
For Each m13 In c13
item = item & vbLf & Replace(pattern, "#", m13)
Next
item = Mid(item, 2)
Debug.Print _
"<HTML><BODY>" & vbLf & _
"<div style='font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana'>" & vbLf & _
"<table style='font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana'>" & vbLf & _
"<tr><td><strong>ITEMS</strong></td></tr>" & vbLf & _
"<tr>" & vbLf & _
item & vbLf & _
"</tr>" & vbLf & _
"</table>" & vbLf & _
"</div>" & vbLf & _
"</BODY></HTML>"
End If
End Sub
Output:
<HTML><BODY>
<div style='font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana'>
<table style='font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana'>
<tr><td><strong>ITEMS</strong></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>01131004378</td>
<td>01121109880</td>
<td>01983345661</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</BODY></HTML>
I have a MS Access module that creates Outlook emails to suppliers in our company in a HTML Table. I can make the module create an email for every customer but I can not get the data to filter out to each individual company. For example the module creates a email for "Supplier A" but it still shows "Supplier B" and "Supplier C" results in that email. My current attempt is opening a recordset and using it as SQL Criteria, I although keep getting the error "No value given for one or more required parameters". Any help or direction on what I'm doing wrong is greatly appreciated.

Criteria for text type fields require delimiters. Options are apostrophe or doubled quote marks. I prefer apostrophe as it is easier to read. A date/time field would need # delimiter.

Don't need all those parens, don't need to concatentate empty string, don't need .Fields - alternative syntax for referencing field.
For more info, review INSERT INTO - errors, but allows input into table
As for data that is sent, it is compiled only once outside recordset Maillist loop. Code logic is wrong. Modify procedure to compile data for each Maillist record within its loop.
Also, really need to create Outlook application object only once so do that and close it outside loops. The email object is different.

Remove the second Set Maillist = db.OpenRecordset("P086 - Email OOR").
I am trying to put two data tables into an email.
I have VBA code to include one table. The data for the second table is in tEmailData, which relates to the tDistinct_DCMs table as well on the DCM_Email field.
I've provided my current VBA for the email, and the VBA format for the second table.
How can I add that table after the first table and a short paragraph of text?

I have not looked at your tables yet, but the code to build the Html document is faulty.
.HTMLBody = .HTMLBody & gDCMBodyText
.HTMLBody = .HTMLBody & "<HTML><BODY>" & strFntNormal & strTableBody & " </BODY></HTML>"
.HTMLBody = .HTMLBody & gDCMBodySig
I cannot find gDCMBodyText and no previous statement has placed anything in HtmlBody so why are you concatenating to it?
<HTML> must come first and </HTML> must come last.
You mention in your question you want to include text but I am unclear where.
I suggest something like the following:
Dim Table1 As string ' First table: <table> ... </table>
Dim Table2 As string ' Second table: <table> ... </table>
Dim TextPre As string ' Text to come before first table
Dim TextMid As string ' Text to come between tables
Dim TextPost As string ' Text to come after second table
Assign appropriate values to the above strings then
.HtmlBody = "<html><body>" & vbLf & _
TextPre & vbLf & _
Table1 & vbLf & _
TextMid & vbLf & _
TextPost & vbLf & _
"</body></html>"
Part 2
I would treat this as four different problems: (1) format table 1 correctly, (2) format table 2 correctly, (3) combine tables correctly and (4) create HtmlBody.
For problems such as 1, 2 and 3, I use the routines below. Macro HtmlDoc combines a Head and Body element into a simple Html document. This is no big deal but it does make life a little simpler. Macro PutTextFileUtf8 outputs a string as a UTF-8 file. Note 1: UTF-8 is the default coding for Html files and allows any Unicode character within a file. Note 2: This macro requires a reference to "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects n.n Library".
I would use these routines to (1) check Table 1 was being created correctly, (2) check Table 2 was being created correctly and (3) check the tables are being combined correctly. If any of the files are not as I wish, I can look at the text file. Looking at the Html body of a mis-formatted email is more difficult.
Function HtmlDoc(ByVal Head As String, ByVal Body As String)
' Returns a simple Hhml document created from Head and Body
HtmlDoc = "<!DOCTYPE html>" & vbLf & "<html>" & vbLf
If Head <> "" Then
HtmlDoc = HtmlDoc & "<head>" & vbLf & Head & vbLf & "</head>" & vbLf
End If
HtmlDoc = HtmlDoc & "<body>" & vbLf & Body & vbLf & "</body>" & vbLf
HtmlDoc = HtmlDoc & "</html>"
End Function
Public Sub PutTextFileUtf8(ByVal PathFileName As String, ByVal FileBody As String)
' Outputs FileBody as a text file (UTF-8 encoding without leading BOM)
' named PathFileName
' Needs reference to "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects n.n Library"
' Addition to original code says version 2.5. Tested with version 6.1.
' 1Nov16 Copied from http://stackoverflow.com/a/4461250/973283

Dim UTFStream As Object
Set UTFStream = CreateObject("adodb.stream")
UTFStream.Type = adTypeText
UTFStream.Mode = adModeReadWrite
UTFStream.Charset = "UTF-8"
' The LineSeparator will be added to the end of FileBody. It is possible

UTFStream.Flush
UTFStream.Close

End Sub
Part 3
In <TD align = 'left'>Card Type</TD>, align = 'left' is the default so can be omitted.
More importantly, the align attribute was depreciated in Html 4 and I cannot find it in Html 5. Use of CSS is recommended.
I suggest you output a HEAD element like this:
<head>
<style>
table {border-collapse:collapse;}
td {border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#BFBFBF;}
tr.bc-lb {background-color:lightblue;}
td.ha-c {text-align:center;}
td.ha-r {text-align:right;}
</style>
<head>
and TR and TD elements like this:
<tr class= “bg-lb”>
<td>Card Type</td>
<td class=“ha-c“>Trans Date</td>"
<td class=“ha-r“>Trans Amt</td>"
table {border-collapse:collapse;} specifies CSS collapse table model. The difference between the collapse and separate models is only visible if you have cell borders. With collapse the borders touch but with separate there is a small gap between them.
td {border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#BFBFBF;} specifies every cell is to have a solid, thin border that is coloured dark grey which I prefer to black.
tr.bc-lb {background-color:lightblue;} allows me to set the background colour for a row to light blue by including class= “bg-lb”within the TR start tag.
I think the other styles and their use can be deduced from the above information.
Summary
Without access to your system I cannot test any rewritten versions of your code. I hope I have given you enough information to allow you to amend your own code.
I'm working on VBA to format an email that will have different text based on the values in the CheckReturnReason column in t1stNoticeEmails table.
I'm trying to format it so that if the specific reason is only listed once in the table, the email is formatted a specific way with a table displayed inside of it, and if a reason is listed more than once, a spreadsheet is attached with the information. This is how the code currently looks, which does not include anything addressing the Excel attachment for multiple entries.
How would I include different formatting if rst2.RecordCount > 1?

I have found that RecordCount is not reliable with Access. I use something like rst.BOF=true AND rst.EOF=true to check for no returned records.
To see if more than one record was returned use
rst.MoveNext
if rst.EOF=false then <more than one record>
right after
rst.MoveFirst
essentially checking if reading after the first record got you to the end of the data.
I have a code to send email from excel. All the info is taken from cells. I am trying to make "J4" bold but it says symtex error when I use . Sorry i'm pretty new to VBA so please explain as if i'm a complete noob.
Code is:
Sub SendMassEmail()
Row_Number = 1
Do
DoEvents
Row_Number = Row_Number + 1
Dim Mail_Body_Message As String
Dim Full_Name As String
Dim Twitter_Code As String
Mail_Body_Message = Sheet1.Range("J2") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J3") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J4") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J5") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J6")
Full_Name = Sheet1.Range("B" & Row_Number)
Twitter_Code = Sheet1.Range("D" & Row_Number)
Mail_Body_Message = Replace(Mail_Body_Message, "replace_name_here", Full_Name)
Mail_Body_Message = Replace(Mail_Body_Message, "promo_code_replace", Twitter_Code)
MsgBox Mail_Body_Message
Call SendTheEmail(Sheet1.Range("A" & Row_Number), "This is the Subject", Mail_Body_Message)
Loop Until Row_Number = 5
MsgBox "**Emails Sent**"
End Sub
The problem here is that the variable Mail_Body_Message is just text. There is no way to indicate when something is bold or a color. You must use HTML in your email to achieve what you want. For example:
Replace
Mail_Body_Message = Sheet1.Range("J2") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J3") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J4") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J5") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J6")

Mail_Body_Message = "<HTML><BODY><font size=3>" & Sheet1.Range("J2") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J3") & vbNewLine & "<b>" & Sheet1.Range("J4") & "</b>" & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J5") & vbNewLine & Sheet1.Range("J6") & "</font></BODY></HTML>"
There is some more work you need to do. You must set your mail item's body format to olFormatHTML. You must also set the HTMLBody of the message to your variable. Basically, you'll need something like this:
Set MItem = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With MItem
.To = EmailAddr
.Subject = Subj
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = Mail_Body_Message
.Send
End With
You can also change the color of text with HTML font tags. For example:
Mail_Body_Message = "<font color='red'>" & VBAVariable & "</font>"
