RE: Excel VBA Linking to OUTLOOK Email

Hi Shamin, thanks for your query. This subroutine contains the nuts and bolts of what you'll need:

*******************

Sub EmailWithOutlook()
'Variable declaration
Dim oApp As Object, _
oMail As Object, _
WB As Workbook, _
FileName As String

'Turn off screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Make a copy of the active sheet and save it to
'a temporary file
ActiveSheet.Copy
Set WB = ActiveWorkbook
FileName = "Temp.xls"
On Error Resume Next
Kill "C:\" & FileName
On Error GoTo 0
WB.SaveAs FileName:="C:\" & FileName

'Create and show the outlook mail item
Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set oMail = oApp.CreateItem(0)
With oMail
'Uncomment the line below to hard code a recipient
'.To = "someone@somedomain.com"
'Uncomment the line below to hard code a subject
'.Subject = "Look at my workbook!"
.Attachments.Add WB.FullName
.Display
End With

'Delete the temporary file
WB.ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadOnly
Kill WB.FullName
WB.Close SaveChanges:=False

'Restore screen updating and release Outlook
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Set oMail = Nothing
Set oApp = Nothing
End Sub

*******************

Hope this helps,

Anthony
