Filter and Email Excel File (VBA) - vba

Question

I have a list of accounts and relevant information that I have to split up and send specific accounts to certain people. This has to be done about 50 times. I already have a program setup that will filter, copy the data to a new file, and save. Is there a way to set it up to then email this file based on a list of contacts?
Each account is covered by a region, so I have a list which has the region and the contact's email. In the macro that splits by the regions, it has an array of these regions so is some kind of lookup possible from the list of contacts?
Code:
Sub SplitFile()
Dim rTemp As Range
Dim regions() As String
Set rTemp = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Combined").Range("AH2:AH1455")
regions = UniqueItems(rTemp, False)
For N = 1 To UBound(regions)
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DVal").Copy _
after:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Combined")
.AutoFilterMode = False
' .AutoFilter
.Range("A1:BP1455").AutoFilter Field:=34, Criteria1:=regions(N)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
.Range("A1:BP1455").Copy wb.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
For c = 1 To 68
wb.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:BP2694").Columns(c).ColumnWidth = .Columns(c).ColumnWidth
Next c
End With
With wb
.Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
.SaveAs Filename:="H:\" & regions(N) & " 14-12-11"
.Close True
End With
Set wb = Nothing
Next N
End Sub

Answer 1

I am assuming you want to do it programmaticaly using VB, you can do something like
Dim msg As System.Web.Mail.MailMessage = New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage()
msg.From = "noone#nobody.com"
msg.To = "someone#somewhere.com"
msg.Subject = "Email with Attachment Demo"
msg.Body = "This is the main body of the email"
Dim attch As MailAttachment = New MailAttachment("C:\attachment.xls")
msg.Attachments.Add(attch)
SmtpMail.Send(msg)

If you're having trouble with the above, my mail macro is different; this is used with excel 2007:
Sub Mail()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim strbody As String
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
strbody = "To Whom It May Concern:" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"This is a test!" & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 2" & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 3" & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 4"
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.to = "anyone#anywhere.com"
.cc = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is only a test"
.Body = strbody
'You can add an attachment like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
.Send 'or use .Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

Jon
I am assuming the following.
1) Regions are in Col AH
2) Contacts are in Col AI
3) UniqueItems() in your code removes duplicates?
Please try the below code. I have commented the code so please go through them and make relevant changes. Especially to the part where you save the File. I have used Late Binding with Outlook.
NOTE: I always test my code before posting but in the current scenario I cannot so do let me know if you find any errors.
