Inserting email signature using vba in Excel 2013 - vba

Question

This sub in an Excel VBA application that has worked well for years, inserting an Outlook signature into an email before displaying the email for me to send (.Display). This has worked in Excel 2007 in Windows XP and 2013 in Windows 7.
Now I have Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 this comes out with Error 91 in my error routine. Could it be a problem with one of the References? - or some change needed in the code?
Sub InsertSig2007(strSigName As String)
Dim objItem As Object
Dim objInsp As Outlook.Inspector
' requires a project reference to the
' Microsoft Office library
Dim objCBP As Office.CommandBarPopup
Dim objCBP2 As Office.CommandBarPopup
Dim objCBB As Office.CommandBarButton
Dim colCBControls As Office.CommandBarControls
Set objInsp = ActiveInspector
If Not objInsp Is Nothing Then
Set objItem = objInsp.CurrentItem
If objItem.Class = olMail Then
' get Insert menu
Set objCBP = objInsp.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl(, 30005)
' get Signature submenu
Set objCBP2 = objCBP.CommandBar.FindControl(, 5608)
If Not objCBP2 Is Nothing Then
Set colCBControls = objCBP2.Controls
For Each objCBB In colCBControls
Debug.Print objCBB.Caption
If objCBB.Caption = strSigName Then
objCBB.Execute ' **** see remarks
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
End If
End If
Set objInsp = Nothing
Set objItem = Nothing
Set colCBControls = Nothing
Set objCBB = Nothing
Set objCBP = Nothing
Set objCBP2 = Nothing
End Sub

"this comes out with Error 91 in my error routine" When debugging do not use an error routine. That way you see the line with the problem and can say what it is in your question.
It is probably
Set objCBP = objInsp.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl(, 30005)
See CommandBars.FindControl Method (Office)
"The use of CommandBars in some Microsoft Office applications has been superseded by the new ribbon component of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface."
Note: CommandBars.ExecuteMso Method (Office) works in 2013 but I believe the signature button is not available.
You will surely find a replacement for your code here Insert Outlook Signature in mail.
Likely this one:
Sub Mail_Outlook_With_Signature_Html_2()
' Don't forget to copy the function GetBoiler in the module.
' Working in Office 2000-2013
'Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim strbody As String
Dim SigString As String
Dim Signature As String
'Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
'Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
Set OutMail = CreateItem(0)
strbody = "<H3><B>Dear Customer Ron de Bruin</B></H3>" & _
"Please visit this website to download the new version.<br>" & _
"Let me know if you have problems.<br>" & _
"Ron's Excel Page" & _
"<br><br><B>Thank you</B>"
'Change only Mysig.htm to the name of your signature
SigString = Environ("appdata") & _
"\Microsoft\Signatures\Mysig.htm"
If Dir(SigString) <> "" Then
Signature = GetBoiler(SigString)
Else
Signature = ""
End If
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
'.To = "ron#debruin.nl"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.HTMLBody = strbody & "<br>" & Signature
'.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
