Autoforward is including the original mail as an attachment - vba

I'm working on a script to auto forward mail with custom message and attachment from original mail.
Code is running but one of the attachments is the original message like this:
How do I remove it?
Option Explicit
Public Sub FW(olItem As Outlook.MailItem)
With olItem
.Attachments.Add olItem, olEmbeddeditem
.Subject = "" & olItem.Subject
.Body = "Hello there."
.To = "someone#somewhere.com" ' <- update
.Send
End With
'// Clean up
Set olItem = Nothing
End Sub

You are better off just using the .Forward method to create a forwarded version of the original email, as this automatically retains any attachments.
Option Explicit
Public Sub FW(olItem As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim olForward as Outlook.MailItem
Set olForward = olItem.Forward
With olForward
.Subject = "" & olItem.Subject
.Body = "Hello there."
.To = "someone#somewhere.com" ' <- update
.Send
End With
'// Clean up
Set olItem = Nothing
Set olForward = Nothing
End Sub

How to create a mailitem?

I'm trying to send the active Excel workbook as an attachment via Outlook.
Whenever I run the code it says
Invalid use of New key word
at New Outlook.MailItem`.
Sub SendOutlook()
'Declaring Variables
Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutlookEmail As Outlook.MailItem
'Assigning variables to create outlook application and mailitem
Set OutlookApp = New Outlook.Application
Set OutlookEmail = New Outlook.MailItem
With OutlookEmail
'Format of the mail
.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
'Body of the mail
.Body = "Dear Someone" & vbNewLine & "How are you?"
'To whom you want to send mail
.To = "Someone#somewhere.com"
'Subject of mail
.Subject = "Write Subject Here"
'TO add an attachment
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
'sends the mail
.Send
End With
End Sub
You cannot create a MailItem via New. It must be created using CreateItem of the the Outlook Application Object.
Set OutlookApp = New Outlook.Application
Set OutlookEmail = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
As far as I got to know from the research is that Programmatic access to sending emails is a security risk, so it's not allowed via VBA.
You can use a programmatic approach with the following:
Option Explicit
Private outlook_app As Object
Private outlook_mailItem As Variant
Sub send_email()
Set outlook_app = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
With outlook_app.CreateItem(outlook_mailItem)
.To = "Someone#somewhere.com"
.Subject = "Write Subject Here"
.Body = "Dear Someone" & vbNewLine & "How are you?"
.send
End With
Set outlook_app = Nothing
End Sub

Problem with Outlook macro - sometimes attachment is not added

I have created a macro that attaches selected email to the message and sends it to the pre-populated address.
However sometimes macro stops attaching selected email.
Can anyone advise what may be the reason? Here is my code.
Sub ForwardOutsource()
On Error Resume Next
Dim objItem As Outlook.MailItem
If Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox ("No item selected")
Exit Sub
End If
For Each objItem In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMsg
.SentOnBehalfOfName = "info#info.com"
.Attachments.Add objItem, olEmbeddeditem
.Subject = objItem.Subject
.To = "address#address.com"
.Display
End With
Next
Set objItem = Nothing
Set objMsg = Nothing
End Sub
Well you should remove On Error Resume Next from your code, you are basically telling the code to continue to next line if an error occurred.
by the way you are not using it correctly as well
Here is good link http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/ErrorHandling.htm
Next try using Option Explicit and Declare variables
clean up your code example
Option Explicit
Public Sub Fw_Items_As_Atmt()
'// Declare variables
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim Item As Outlook.MailItem
' Select msg
If Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox ("No Item selected")
Exit Sub
End If
Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
For Each Item In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
With msg
.Attachments.Add Item, olEmbeddeditem ' Attch Selected email
.Subject = "See Attached Items"
.To = ""
.CC = ""
.HTMLBody = ""
.Display
' .Send
End With
Next
'// Clean up
Set Item = Nothing
Set msg = Nothing
End Sub

Send SECURE email with Outlook via VBA

I have a simple code to open Microsoft Outlook and send an email with an attachment. I would like to send the email securely. Meaning, I would like to know if there is any code that would be tantamount to pressing the "Send Securely" button in outlook. Here is my code so far.....
Sub EmailInvoice()
Dim OutlookApp As Object, OutlookMessage As Object
Dim FileName As String, EmailAddress As String
EmailAddress = Range("ProviderEmail").Value
FileName = "C:\Users\rblahblahblah.txt"
Set OutlookApp = GetObject(class:="Outlook.Application") 'Handles if
Outlook is already open
Err.Clear
If OutlookApp Is Nothing Then Set OutlookApp =
CreateObject(class:="Outlook.Application") 'If not, open Outlook
If Err.Number = 429 Then
MsgBox "Outlook could not be found, aborting.", 16, "Outlook Not Found"
Exit Sub
End If
'Create a new email message
Set OutlookMessage = OutlookApp.CreateItem(0)
'Create Outlook email with attachment
With OutlookMessage
.To = EmailAddress
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Invoice for Upload - " & Month
.Body = "Please upload the attached file to the Vendor Portal."
.Attachments.Add FileName
.Display
.Send
End With
End Sub
The code below will send it with a sensitivity enumeration but not securely (Certified Mail). I also add my signature (Default) to the email.
Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook_1()
'Working in Excel 2000-2013
'This example send the last saved version of the Activeworkbook
'For Tips see: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/winmail/Outlook/tips.htm
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim cell As Range
Dim SigString As String
Dim Signature As String
For Each cell In ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Email List").Range("B1:B100")
If cell.Value Like "?*#?*.?*" And LCase(cell.Offset(0, 1).Value) = "yes" Then
strto = strto & cell.Value & ";"
End If
Next cell
If Len(strto) > 0 Then strto = Left(strto, Len(strto) - 1)
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
'Change only Mysig.htm to the name of your signature
SigString = Environ("appdata") & "\Microsoft\Signatures\Default.htm"
If Dir(SigString) <> "" Then
Signature = GetBoiler(SigString)
Else
Signature = ""
End If
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.to = strto
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = ("*Confidential*: Policyholder Name Here - Policy # Here - Premium Bill")
.HTMLBody = "Attached is the most recent premium bill in Excel." & "<br><br>" & Signature
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
'You can add other files also like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
.Importance = 2 '(0=Low, 1=Normal, 2=High)
.Sensitivity = 3 '(0=Normal, 1=Personal, 2=Private, 3=Confidential)
.Send 'or use .Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Function GetBoiler(ByVal sFile As String) As String
'Dick Kusleika
Dim fso As Object
Dim ts As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.GetFile(sFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
GetBoiler = ts.readall
ts.Close
End Function

Create Email and Attach Selected Email

I create a new email with the code below.
I'd like to have an attachment. I think I have to use an OutMail.Attachment.Method but the attachment needs to be a specific email.
I want the entire email with contents (ie. texts, files, pics, etc.) as the attachment.
I'd like to attach whatever email I have highlighted (as an .msg).
Public Sub RemarkRequest()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim Signature As String
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
'Get the user signature
With OutMail
.Display
End With
Signature = OutMail.HTMLBody
'Change the mail address and subject in the macro before you run it.
With OutMail
.To = "yyy#bbb.com; zzz#bbb.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Subject"
.HTMLBody = "Text" & Signature
.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Example will be -
'// Forces explicit declaration of all variables in a file
Option Explicit
Sub ForwardAsAttchment()
'// Declare variables
Dim olMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim olItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim olSignature As String
On Error Resume Next
If Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox ("No Item selected")
Exit Sub
End If
For Each olItem In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
Set olMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'// Get the user signature
With olMsg
.Display
End With
olSignature = olMsg.HTMLBody
'// Change the mail address and subject in the macro before you run it.
With olMsg
.Attachments.Add olItem, olEmbeddeditem ' Attch Selected email
.Subject = "Subject"
.To = "yyy#bbb.com; zzz#bbb.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.HTMLBody = "Text" & olSignature
.Display
' .Send
End With
Next
'// Clean up
Set olItem = Nothing
Set olMsg = Nothing
End Sub

Verify via vba to msaccess 2013 that email was sent to Outlook 2013

I am trying to achieve:
the email was sent to Outlook "Sent Items" folder therefore email is
not in the "Outbox" folder.
email did not return due to delivery failure (email will be in the
"Inbox" folder deliver by postmaster#mail.hotmail.com)
The following code is used to send an email from an Access form via Outlook:
Private Sub cmdEmail1_Click()
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strBody As String
Dim strPDF As String
Dim strFolder As String
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
strBody = Me.txtSubject
strPDF = Me.txtFile
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = Me.txtemail
.CC = ""
.BCC = Me.txtBBCemail
.Subject = Me.txtSubject
.Body = Me.txtMessage
.Recipients.ResolveAll
' .SendUsingAccount = OutApp.Session.Accounts.Item(2) '2nd email
.SentOnBehalfOfName = Me.txtFromEmail
.Attachments.Add strPDF 'attachments
.Send
End With
Me.txtSent = "email was sent to Outlook "
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Thanks a lot

Both of these will be asynchronous and you will be able to process the notification at a later point, seconds or even minutes later.
I don't think #1 will help you much - it only tells you that the network was not disconnected. Why does it matter? Even if it is down, Outlook will send the message later.
For #2, it all depends on who sent the NDR. If it is Exchange, you will be able to figure out the bad recipient address. Otherwise you might just get a message with no good way to figure out what the problematic recipient was.
EDIT. For Items.ItemAdd, see the following (off the top of my head):
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim WithEvents SentItems As Outlook.Items
sub SentItems_ItemAdd(Item As Object)
MsgBox Item.Subject
end sub
Private Sub cmdEmail1_Click()
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strBody As String
Dim strPDF As String
Dim strFolder As String
Dim ns As Outlook.Namespacee
if (OutApp Is Nothing) Then
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
set ns = OutApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
ns.Logon
set SentItems = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderSentMail).Items
End If
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
strBody = Me.txtSubject
strPDF = Me.txtFile
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = Me.txtemail
.CC = ""
.BCC = Me.txtBBCemail
.Subject = Me.txtSubject
.Body = Me.txtMessage
.Recipients.ResolveAll
' .SendUsingAccount = OutApp.Session.Accounts.Item(2) '2nd email
.SentOnBehalfOfName = Me.txtFromEmail
.Attachments.Add strPDF 'attachments
.Send
End With
Me.txtSent = "email was sent to Outlook "
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
