I am sending emails out to approximately 150 individuals, each email may have between 1 and 3 attachments.
I can send emails out just fine with one attachment...getting multiple attachments is difficult.
Lets say the attachment file path is located in A1 through C1.
How can I Perform.
If A1 is empty, go to Send, if not, attach file
If B1 is empty, go to Send, if not, attach file
If C1 is empty, go to Send, if not, attach file
Send:
This is the code I have currently: I realize my ranges are different than what I posted above. The following script works...its just for the one attachment however.
Set rngEntries = ActiveSheet.Range("b5:b172")
For Each rngEntry In rngEntries
Set objMail = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)
With objMail
.To = rngEntry.Offset(0, 11).Value
.Subject = rngEntry.Offset(0, 8).Value
.Body = rngEntry.Offset(0, 10).Value
.Attachments.Add rngEntry.Offset(0, 9).Value
.send
End With
Next rngEntry
What I want would look a little like this....
Set rngEntries = ActiveSheet.Range("b5:b172")
For Each rngEntry In rngEntries
Set objMail = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)
With objMail
.To = rngEntry.Offset(0, 11).Value
.Subject = rngEntry.Offset(0, 8).Value
.Body = rngEntry.Offset(0, 10).Value
If rngEntry.Offset(0, 1) is empty, goto Send
.Attachments.Add rngEntry.Offset(0, 1).Value
If rngEntry.Offset(0, 2) is empty, goto Send
.Attachments.Add rngEntry.Offset(0, 2).Value
If rngEntry.Offset(0, 3) is empty, goto Send
.Attachments.Add rngEntry.Offset(0, 3).Value
Send:
.send
End With
Next rngEntry
It's always best to avoid GoTo statements in VBA at all costs, because things can get hairy very quickly. Just write this:
If Not IsEmpty(rngEntry.Offset(0, 1)) Then .Attachments.Add rngEntry.Offset(0, 1).Value
If Not IsEmpty(rngEntry.Offset(0, 2)) Then .Attachments.Add rngEntry.Offset(0, 2).Value
If Not ISEmpty(rngEntry.Offset(0, 3)) then .Attachments.Add rngEntry.Offset(0, 3).Value

You may also be interested in a function I built to send emails, which passes attachments as a | separated string values and then splits them into an array to load them. In this way, you can send one or more with the same function, plus a few other nifty things.
A few notes: I declared Outlook outside the function in the capacity I was using it, so you'd have to either do the same, or add it into the function. It also uses Early Binding as I use inside other MS Office Products.
Option Explicit
Sub SendMail(strTo As String, strSubject As String, strBody As String, strAttachments As String, Optional strCC As String, Optional strFolder As String, Optional blSend As Boolean)
'requires declaration of Outlook Application outside of sub-routine
'passes file name and folder separately
'strAttachments is a "|" separate listed of attachment paths
Dim olNs As Outlook.Namespace
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
'login to outlook
Set olNs = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
olNs.Logon
'create mail item
Set oMail = oApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'display mail to get signature
With oMail
.Display
End With
Dim strSig As String
strSig = oMail.HTMLBody
'build mail and send
With oMail
.To = strTo
.CC = strCC
.Subject = strSubject
.HTMLBody = strBody & strSig
Dim strAttach() As String, x As Integer
strAttach() = Split(strAttachments, "|")
For x = LBound(strAttach()) To UBound(strAttach())
If FileExists(strFolder & strAttach(x)) Then .Attachments.Add strFolder & strAttach(x)
Next
.Display
If blSend Then .Send
End With
Set olNs = Nothing
Set oMail = Nothing
End Sub
Here is the FileExists that checks if the attachment exists before trying to add it:
Function FileExists(sFile As String) As Boolean
'requires reference to Microsoft Scripting RunTime
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists(sFile) Then
FileExists = True
Else
FileExists = False
End If
Set fso = Nothing
End Function

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.

I'm working on a way to send emails to a list of recipients. All emails should contain the same body, but with unique attachments. The code I'm using successfully retrieves the addresses from column N, and inserts attachments based on paths in corresponding rows in columns O:AZ.
The issue I'm encountering is that the first email created using the code has no body. The recipient and attachments are correct, but the email itself is empty. All other emails created show the body correctly. I have very little experience with VBA, and cannot find what's causing the issue.
Any help regarding the code and possible issues would be appreciated! Please let me know if you need more details regarding the code or data.
Sub create_emails()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range
Dim FileCell As Range
Dim rng As Range
Dim strobody As String

End With
Set sh = Sheets("Sheet2")
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
For Each cell In sh.Columns("N").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) 'email addresses located in Sheet2, column N
Set rng = sh.Cells(cell.Row, 1).Range("O1:AZ1") 'File paths stored in corresponding rows, columns 0:AZ
If cell.Value Like "?*#?*.?*" And _
Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) > 0 Then
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail
.SentOnBehalfOfName = "xxx#xxx.xxx"
.To = cell.Value
.Subject = "test subject"
.Body = strbody
strbody = "Test text"
For Each FileCell In rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If Trim(FileCell) <> "" Then
If Dir(FileCell.Value) <> "" Then
.Attachments.Add FileCell.Value
End If

You're setting strbody after you're using it, so the first time it's used it's empty.
Change:
With OutMail
.SentOnBehalfOfName = "xxx#xxx.xxx"
.To = cell.Value
.Subject = "test subject"
.Body = strbody
strbody = "Test text"
To:
With OutMail
.SentOnBehalfOfName = "xxx#xxx.xxx"
.To = cell.Value
.Subject = "test subject"
strbody = "Test text"
.Body = strbody
And also, if you had Option Explicit set, you'd notice that your declaration for strbody is mistyped to strobody.
Looking for help with sending emails to a list of people. My code has a simple loop and grabs the value each time through of where to send the email. While testing, the first email will always get sent. After that, the 2nd time through I get error on ".To"
Run-time error - '-2147221238 (8004010a):
The item has been moved or deleted.
This is puzzling to me because the code does accurately grab the next email value?
The emails need to be sent one by one, instead of adding the recipients to a list of bcc. Is this possible with VBA? Thanks in advance!

When you send the e-mail, the mailItem instance is done and not available anymore. Refactor your code like :
Sub TestingAgain()

Dim outApp As Object
Dim outMailItem As Object
Dim iCounter As Integer
Dim sDest As String
Dim sName As String
'Create the Outlook application and the empty email.

sDest = ""
For i = 2 To WorksheetFunction.CountA(Columns(1))
If i <> "" Then
'/ Create the mail item instance.
Set outMailItem = outApp.CreateItem(0)
With outMailItem
'Grab first name and email
sDest = Cells(i, 5).Value
sName = Cells(i, 1).Value
'Send each email
.To = sDest
.Subject = "FYI"
.htmlbody = "Some stuff"
.send
'/ Once sent, mail item is no more available.
End With
Else
MsgBox ("Error")
End If
Next

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).

I have a macro for Outlook where I can create a complete mail with an attachment but can not add a signature saved in my C drive (C:\Users\JustinG\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures).
Signature types are .rtf and .htm with images.
The following is the code:
Sub Mail_Workbook_1()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim Outmail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set Outmail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
' Change the mail address and subject in the macro before you run it.
With Outmail
.SentOnBehalfOfName = "justin.gatlin#rediffmail.com"
.To = "abc#xyz.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Presentation"
.Body = "Hi Team,"
.Attachments.add ("C:\Users\DurshetwarA\Desktop\Excel Examination_Master_V1.xlsx")
.display
''SendKeys ("%s")
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set Outmail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
In the .htm file in the signatures directory you can edit the htm file. The pictures are stored as relative path and when you use the code it looses that path so if you use discrete path it will be able to find the pictures. so go into the file and look for any relative paths and make them discrete.
"/Microsoft/Signatures/picturefile.jpg"
change that to include the whole path
"/root/user/blah blah../Microsoft/Signatures/picturefile.jpg"
This solved the missing image problem for me.

Instead of .body use .htmlbody and design your message body in HTML. This is the only way of inserting image in your message. There is no specific option to insert signature
Similar to the solution posted by Adavid02, here you may find a more detailed explanation.
