I have compiled the following code in VBA to send out an email. I want to send a simple message with a Range of cells in a table format.
The code below works. But the output is flipped. I want the message text on top and the table on the bottom. (Please see image attached).
Any time I try to move anything around I get a "424 Object Required" error.
Please advise.
Sub SendEmail()
Dim msg As String
Set mailApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set mail = mailApp.createitem(olMailItem)
msg = "Good Morning Team, " & "<br><br>" _
& "Here is this week's Coffee Talk groups. Enjoy!" & "<br><br>"
With mail
.To = "someone#gmail.com"
.Subject = "Coffee Talk " & Date
.HTMLBody = msg
End With
mail.display
Set wEditor = mailApp.ActiveInspector.wordEditor
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Groups").Range("A1:E4").Copy
wEditor.Application.Selection.Paste
End Sub
There is a Range to HTML function made by Ron de Bruin that would help you with your issue. I have amended your code for his function to work:
Sub SendEmail()
Dim msg As String
Set mailApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set mail = mailApp.createitem(olMailItem)
Dim rng As Range
msg = "Good Morning Team, " & "<br><br>" _
& "Here is this week's Coffee Talk groups. Enjoy!" & "<br>"
Set rng = Sheets("Groups").Range("A1:E4").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
With mail
.To = "someone#gmail.com"
.Subject = "Coffee Talk " & Date
.HTMLBody = msg & "<br>" & RangetoHTML(rng)
.display
End With
End Sub

I have the following code and it creates the email almost perfectly. What it doesn't do is maintain the default signature that is visible before it pastes the RangetoHTML results.
How do I get my signature back?
This is almost entirely drawn from Ron de Bruin's code samples and as I said, it all works very well except for the signature bit. This is an Outlook created signature, so I do have an htm copy of it locally. I did experiment and found that nothing, not even additional text or another string, will appear after the ".body = Selection.Paste". No, changing that to ".HTMLbody = Selection.Paste", does not make it work.

The trick here is that Outlook only adds the Signature when you .Display the email, and only if you haven't already made changes to .HTMLBody:
Dim DefaultSignature As String
.Display
DefaultSignature = .HTMLBody
.HTMLBody = "This is just a friendly reminder that your pick for tonight's Thursday Night Football game is due by kickoff # " & Format(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("WEEKLY MATCHUPS").Range("M3").Value, "medium time") & "<BR>" & "<BR>" & _
RangetoHTML(rng) & DefaultSignature
Using the RangeToHTML function from Ron de Bruin, I'm pasting a range into an outlook email. However, it seems that an extra blank row is being pasted into the email as seen below:
I've already confirmed that the Source:=TempWB.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Address line is correctly grabbing only the data itself and not an extra line. I've also confirmed that the input range to RangetoHTML() is also correct. My only guess is that the the .ReadAll method is somehow putting an extra line in the file, but I'm not sure how to debug that. Here's the RangetoHTML function I'm using for easy reference:
Function RangetoHTML(rng As Range)
' By Ron de Bruin.
Dim fso As Object
Dim ts As Object
Dim TempFile As String
Dim TempWB As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Copy the range and create a new workbook to past the data in

'Publish the sheet to a htm file

Sheet:=TempWB.Sheets(1).Name, _
Source:=TempWB.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Address, _

.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)
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
Skip:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Function
EDIT: Here's the portion of code where the email is being generated. The RangeToHTML(rng_Summary) is what inserts the range into the email:
'Construct the actual email in outlook
With OutMail
.to = "LastName, FirstName"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "LOB Break Status (As of " & Format(Now(), "m/d") & ")"
.HTMLBody = "<BODY style=font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri>Here is the latest status for the breaks, by product, in the LOB:" & _
RangetoHTML(rng_Summary) & _
"<BODY style=font-size:9pt;font-family:Calibri>*allows are excluded from Avg. Age of Breaks calculation" & _
"<ul>" & _
"<li>" & _
"<BODY style=font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri><u><b>Average Age of Breaks</u></b>" & Chr(150) & " " & avg_age_change & " from " & avg_break_age_prev & " to " & avg_break_age_curr & " due to ________" & _
"</li>" & _
"</ul>"
.Display 'CHANGE THIS to .Display/.Send if you want to test/send
End With
Workbook.PublishObjects includes an extra row to enforce column widths.
<![if supportMisalignedColumns]>
<tr height=0 style='display:none'>
<td width=64 style='width:48pt'></td>
<td width=64 style='width:48pt'></td>
</tr>
<![endif]>
Using the #EngineerToast's answer to Replace only last occurrence of match in a string in VBA we can hide the last row while preserving column widths.
Function getTrimRangetoHTML(rng As Range) As String
Const OldText = "display:none"
Const NewText = "visibility: hidden;"
Dim s As String
s = RangetoHTML(rng)
s = StrReverse(Replace(StrReverse(s), StrReverse(OldText), StrReverse(NewText), , 1))
getTrimRangetoHTML = s
With CreateObject("new:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69}")
.SetText s
.PutInClipboard
End With
End Function
Addendum
After reviewing RangetoHTML's output I noticed that the first row also enforces the column widths. Nonetheless, getTrimRangetoHTML will give the desired result of hidding the last row.
I've had this exact same thing happen to me, and I fixed it using some simple CSS.
tr:last-child {display:none;}
If you are not familiar CSS, that needs to be placed between style tags, like this:
<style> tr:last-child {display:none;} </style>
Placed here in your code:
RangetoHTML = "<style> tr:last-child {display:none;} </style>" & Replace(RangetoHTML, "align=center x:publishsource=", _
"align=left x:publishsource=")
Seems that you have to include the following code line before 'Close TempWB within the RangeToHTML procedure to avoid an additional line on top of HTML Body:
' >>> INSERTED CODE LINE:
RangetoHTML = Replace(RangetoHTML, "<!--[if !excel]> <![endif]-->", "")
' Close TempWB
TempWB.Close savechanges:=False
' ....
' ....
I am trying to send Automate mail from Excel via Outlook mail to users. Within that i have requirement to send some Excel tables and graphs to certain users. The excel table should be placed after some text provided/written by sender and should retain the same table format in the email.

I'm assuming "A1:D6" is one merged ranged. You only want the top left cell in that case. If I've made an incorrect assumption let me know.

I'm totally new to Excel VBA. I am using Microsoft 2003 excel.
What my superior tasked me to do was to create a Leave Management System that tracks down an employee's amount of days left in terms of leave and from there, send an email down to her, her secretary and the employee regarding the status of approved or rejected.
I did try out some codes of VBA.. But I do not know how really the mail sending function works? Do i send the attachment out? Or when i entered some value in the code, it will auto send the whole attachment over? I'm really lost here, thank you!

Here is an example on how to achieve what you want. Please amend it for your actual needs.
I did try out some codes of VBA.. But I do not know how really the mail sending function works? Do i send the attachment out?
You don't need to send the entire workbook as an attachment. You can send a simple email stating whether the leave is approved or rejected. If you need to support why you are rejecting or approving the leave then you can paste the relevant cells in the email. See this example.
I am assuming for a moment that you worksheet looks like this.
Now suppose the employee Siddharth wants to take a leave. As we can see in the snapshot, the employee has 0 leaves balance. So the request for leave will be declined and a mail will be shot to the relevant person/Dept
When you run the code, it will ask you to enter the employees name
and then sends the relevant email.
CODE
Option Explicit
'~~> To Field in Email
Const strTo As String = "aaa#aaa.com"
'~~> CC field in email. If you do not want to CC then change "bbb#bbb.com" to ""
Const strCC As String = "bbb#bbb.com"
'~~> This is what goes in the body
Const strBody1 As String = "Dear XYZ,"
Const strBody2 As String = "This is in reference to leave request for employee "
Const strBodyApp As String = "The employee has sufficient leave balance and can take the leave"
Const strBodyNotApp As String = "The employee doesn't have sufficient leave balance and hence cannot take the leave"
Const strByeBye As String = "Thanks and Regards"
Const sender As String = "ABC"

DISCLAIMER: Since the above code is a basic example, I have not
1) included Error handling (which you should)
2) used basic stuff as Application.ScreenUpdating
