App To Open User's Email Client, Attach File
Apr 8, 2008
I have developed a product that's a bunch of Excel spreadsheets strung together. Real estate and mortgage professionals use the tools to counsel home buyers. We include a pdf converter in case recipients of emailed file attachments don't have Excel.
We provide an 'Export' procedure that calls a custom dll that uses the outgoing mail server that the user [must] setup or our web's mail server as a default. The action attaches the Excel or the PDF file and sends in the background. We use an Excel form for user to write the message and the process saves a copy of the message sent and the file send in an Archives folder.
This procedure is not very user friendly, as it does not offer the user's address book to select a recipient, does not put the message in the user's email client Sent folder...Plus the Archives folder could become quite large...plus it involves a user setup that creates alot of support calls.
But actually the most critical shortcoming has become that ISPs (Comcast and ATT so far) are blocking the use of custom email clients!
Recently my son showed me in QuickBooks their attach file-to-email process. It simply opens the user's default email client with the file attached. I need an app that does that! And it needs to be distributable.

I have written a macro but unable to make it work. The macro works but not the way I would like it to.
The macro has to save an excel sheet to a separate folder as a pdf format, a message box should pop up confirming the pdf file and then attach the same saved pdf file to an email.
Now the macro saves the pdf file where I need it to be saved, the msg box pop up and then the pdf file opens up on top of the msg box. If I close the pdf file the msg box which was hidden under the file is now shown. When I click "OK" it goes straight to outlook with the email addresses attached but the saved pdf file is not attached.
I've attached the script.
Sub Macro1()
'
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="C:UserReportsPDF Reports" & Range("Q3").Value _
, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True

When I test the email link on my computer, the 'Outlook Express setup' wizard initiates. However, I don't use Outlook Express (Yahoo and Zimbra).
I am wondering of it is possible to automatically ensure that in cases where a user doesn't use Outlook Express by default that Excel will open the users default email client- which could be a web browser or another application? Is this something determined by each users (Control Panel?Registry?) settings for handling email hyperlinks? Is there a piece of VBA code I could include in the workbook which identifies the relevant email client to open?
I know I can simply provide my email address on the workbook and allow a user to copy/paste it into their email application but I feel that by minimising the amount of effort required by a user to provide a rating that I'll be more likely to receive user rating feedback.

I have been trying to find a method to attach a worksheet to an email WITHOUT sending it. I want my user to be able to create the attachment file and then add some text before sending.
also, I have been playing around with Ron Debruin's code to send one worksheet, found at [url] this is the closest i have found to what I need. except it sends the mail for you. and I can't get it to copy and paste as values only one cell on the worksheet (not the entire worksheet as values).
here is his code
Sub Mail_ActiveSheet()
'Working in 97-2007
Dim FileExtStr As String
Dim FileFormatNum As Long
Dim Sourcewb As Workbook
Dim Destwb As Workbook
Dim TempFilePath As String
Dim TempFileName As String
Dim AddresseeName As String

I have this Macro working almost perfectly, but I need to attach the worksheets to the emails. The code is below. I am unable to reference the ".Attachments" to the workbook created previously in the code.

I'm generating a letter (Word doc) and populating bookmarks with data on a worksheet using the following code which is assigned to a Button and it works a dream (in terms of opening the Doc and populating the bookmarks with whatever data is in the relevant cells on the worksheet):
Sub test()
Dim objWord As Object
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
objWord.Documents.Open "location of the letter.doc"
[code]......
However, what I now need to do is Create an Outlook Item (email) with a Standard Subject and send to an email address that will be on the same worksheet (in cell M2 for instance) and with a standard Body.
I dont really need to open the Word doc, like it does at present, but I do need the Bookmarks contained within it to be populated with the source data contained within the Worksheet and subsequently have it attached to the email fully populated - maybe I need to 'close' / 'save as & close' the Doc post generation?

show me the visual basic codes that allow me to attach the current saved workbook to an email (just attach, but not to send the file). So basically, just open the Outlook, send to, and attach the file.

I wrote this code years ago to Auto Send Emails from Outlook...
Sub Emailfile()
Dim OutlookApp As Object
Const olMailItem = 0
Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Dim EmailContent As String
With OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
EmailContent = Range("A1").Value
.To = "Test"
.Subject = "LSG Data File"
.Body = EmailContent
.Attachments.Add ("P:MI TeamICCE LEADS EXTRACTSLSGLSG Data File")
End With
End Sub
I can't figure out how to get it working for Lotus notes... So 2 things I guess really... Firstly is it possible? Second: If it is, how can I get it to send say 16 emails each with a specific attachment but the same commentary?

I have finally come up with a macro and would like to install it to around 10 people's "Personal Workbook" in my department. Let me explain a bit further...
We use web-based software which has an "Export to Excel" option which we all use. The resulting data populates into a spreadsheet automatically.
I would like the user to be able to click on Tools/Macro/Run Macro and then run that particular macro. I assume that this macro should be in the "Personal Workbook" so that the macro will be visible no matter what worksheet they may have open?
Can this be done automatically/with a macro or must this be manually done?
I"m using Excel 2003.

I am writing code that requires data from another workbook. Instead of hardcoding the directory and filename (which changes daily), how can I have the code prompt the user to do this for me?
I want to open the file with:
links updated
read-only
Also, is there a way to have an initial directory that appears so the user need not go through a dozen directories every time to get to the file?

I have code that prompts the user to open a specific excel file. However, with the following:
Filepath = "..."
name = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files *.xls* (*.xls*),",)
Workbooks.Open name
the default directory you start out in in the window that prompts the user to select a file is NOT ...
How can I properly assign which directory the user starts in so they need not go through 10 sub-directories everytime they run this code?

We have several salespeople who maintain a workbook tracking their workflow. I want to compile the customer account number, account name and deal number for each rep to another workbook. A new sourcebook is started each week. This code is in the target book
'Option Explicit
Public sourcebook As Object 'the workflow workbook
Sub GETDATA()
Dim wsc As Double 'the number of pages in the workflow
Dim col As Long 'the column in this workbook for returning values
Dim IntEndRow As Double 'the end row in this book
Dim SrcEndRow As Double 'the end row in workflow
Dim findval 'the column workflow where the sourcedata is found
My code allows the user to select a workbook and then loops through each sheet in that book searching for the column which has the info I need, this changes on each sheet as the reps each deal with different types of customer as so take different details. I solved this by having column headers in the target book and searching for them in the sourcebook.
This code works when I step through it but falls over at the "Set sourcebook" line when I run it where it returns a breakpoint error.

I'm currently creating E-mails containing a table of material numbers in the body of the message. The E-mail is generated with a macro from a table in excel. In some folder - say on the desktop - I have PDF files for each material Number. Each file is called 0012345_Product-Name.pdf where 0012345 is the material number (always 7 digits). I want the macro to look for the pdf for each material number found in the table and add it to the E-mail as an attachment. With constant, known file names this wouldn't be much of an issue. However, I'm having trouble getting the macro to only search for the first 7 digits of the filename and select it based on that.
Since we are talking up to several 100 PDF's, it would also be great to zip them, once selected - if at all possible, before attaching them to the E-mail

I have a program that opens an excel-workbook, I first check whether the file is opened by another user(open for read-write). This works fine, but I'd like to know which user has the file open with VBa code. ex.
workbooks.open ....
if open
then msgbox " Book opened by user"
end if
So it's the same as you open an excel(with your windows explorer) on a network and you get the message that the file is already opened by the user....

I have two pieces of code that each work, but I am struggling to combine the two.
I started with Ron de Bruin's code to attach multiple files to an email and then found more code that will loop through a folder to attach multiple files to an email.
Essentially, I would like the structure of Ron de Bruin's code, with the ability to have folder paths in the cell range, rather than file names.
Here is the code that works to loop through a folder, but it only works when I have the paths listed in one column, not in a range (e.g. columns C-Z)
Code:
Sub Send_Indv_Files()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
[Code].....

I have a workbook were a user will write down some info. Then I need to copy that data to a second workbook located anywere in the Hard drive. i used the function "GetOpenFilename" or the "Application.dialogs(xlopenfile) to ask the user where is the file (and open it). Now I need to get the name of that file. How can I get it?(the name of the file the user selected to open). P.S. I saw there is somewhere a "Print" function to copy data from a workbook to another closed workbook. I was planning to have both workbooks open and then just use several lines like:

I use the vba to open excel file. like workbooks.open filename:=abc.xlsm but I found that if the file is opened by other. Excel still open the file but it will not notify user that it is opened as read only.
Would you add more line to notify user if the file is opened by other?

I am making a macro that requires that user to enter a directory path into a input box and the macro will open the file. Right now it works fine bit i would like to change the code so that instead of using an input box it brings up a box that will allow them to browse files on their computer and then select one to open.
