Attach Files To Email Based On Partial Filename?
Jul 31, 2014
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 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 code that takes full cell with filename, looking for it in certain directory and copying to another directory.
Sheets("Unique").Select
Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
For Each rng In Selection
If rng.Offset(0, 4).Value <> "" And InStr(1, rng.Offset(0, 4).Value, "http") = 0 Then
FileCopy SourcePath & rng.Offset(0, 4).Value, ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & DestPath & "" & rng.Offset(0, 4).Value
End If
Next rng
I want to change the code that it will copy based on number. Any suggestions?
Example:
I have range of filenames.
10989478.MEC0388A-L0_RoHS_globemotors_1.pdf
10989495.Keystone_M1.4cat. zip
10989559.MEC0388A-L0_RoHS_qualtek.pdf
I want to copy files starting with 10989478, 10989495, 10989559. I mean ignore the part after "dot".

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'm attempting to copy some files into an archive folder in the same main folder. These files appear weekly in a folder that contains numerous other files.
Each of these files has a filename such as:
RAH_MRL_TOP_40_(ddmmyy_TIME)
with time being the time that the report was run.
Every week the filename stays the same but the time and date changes. I was hoping to be able to simply use the "Filecopy" command and specify the source file with a "*" after the main file name. However this does not seem to work.
Is there a simple way to do this? (I dont want more than a few lines of coding really as I will be duplicating it for each file and then changing the file name as needed.

I am using the GetOpenFilename method to allow the user to select a file to open:
vaFiler = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:="Adobe PDF Files (*.pdf),*.pdf", _
title:=Description, MultiSelect:=False)
What I would like to do is 'pre-load' the filename the user can select. They will be picking a file to attach to a part as a datasheet. Almost every single datasheet in the library has the part nuber as part of it's filename, so to make it a little quicker (and more accurate), I want pre-load the filename selection window with *partnr*.pdf. If nothing shows up, the user can delete filename I have entered for them and see all files in that directory.

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?

I am trying to set a file name as a string to use it as an attachment. The user inputs a number into a textbox. That number is used to locate the file in location. But the file name is different with each file. So im trying to do something like
"C:Desktop*TextBox1*.docx"
Whereas the actual file name is "C:DesktopMCJC RFI 1 MISSING ROOM NUMBERS.docx"
The location "C:Desktop" will always remain the same as will ".docx". I have everything else working just fine.

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 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 _

I have some code that I use to convert files, and it works well, but I would like to make a couple of changes to it. If I run it now it requires user input for every file that is processed, using the input box. Instead of this I would like to use the filename minus the extension as this input.
The next step is selecting the file using the . Instead of this I would like the user to browse for the folder containing .csv files, and select the folder, then use the macro to loop through all files in the folder.

I'm trying to create a macro that will find the parent folder of the active workbook, zip all files within that workbook, then email that zipped file to a distribution list that is located in a separate file within the same drive. ideally, afterwards it would also delete the zip file that had just been created. The vlookup would reference a stationary cell within each of the files i use (same tab name and cell location) 'Summary'!B2
This is the vlookup i was trying to use:
=VLookup(B2, "shared drive location[Distribution Lists.xlsx]Distribution Lists'!$B:$E", 3, False)

I'm trying to send a few emails with some .txt files attached. It is sending the emails, along with text files, but the data within the text files are either missing or giving me weird Chinese symbols.
Here is the code:

As I said, the email is sending no problem, with files attached, but the data within the files are corrupted. I've checked, and the links are referencing the correct files.

I am currently attempting to use an excel macro to allow me to send a list of files to one person. I have managed to create a dynamic list where one sheet of the workbook has the list of files and checkboxes, and as certain ones are selected they appear in a list on the 'front sheet' of my workbook, which has the button to send the email.
My front sheet is set up in a way that in cell B3 I have the desired email address, B4 contains the subject and from B5 to B30 I have the list of selected attachments (although the length of the list obviously varies depending on the amount of files selected, when all are selected the list extends to B30).
I have the below vba code that allows me to create an email with the address and subject and attaches the file address from cell B5, but I would like to attach all the files in the list and am struggling to change the code to do so.
Code:
Sub CreateMail()
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objMail As Object
Dim rngTo As Range
Dim rngSubject As Range
Dim rngAttach As Range
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
[Code] ........
I can add more by creating new ranges (rngAttach1, rngAttach2, rngAttach3 etc) and setting these to their respective locations but if, for example, only two files are selected, the list only covers cells B5 and B6, so when the macro looks up the file directory in B7 (rngAttach3) it returns an error because obviously there is nothing for it to find.
I have attempted to compile a loop and change the code to the version shown below but am having no luck.
Code:
Sub CreateMail()
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objMail As Object
Dim rngTo As Range
Dim rngSubject As Variant
Dim rngAttach As String
Dim iLoop As Long
[Code] ....

I am using VBA
I have an input box pop up to ask the user for a base item number. The way the excel sheets part numbers work for example is TM-T88VP-GRY, the last part 'GRY' changing based on the variation of the item that someone ordered. So, the base item number would be TM-T88VP, and what I want to do is search through a set column (Column G) and delete any row that contains that base item number.

I've got a group of data within a pivot table that I want to be sorted based on only part of the string. For example,
Standard Kitchen
Standard Master Bath
Standard Hall Bath
Optional Kitchen
Optional Basement Bath
First they would be sorted by whether they begin with Standard or Optional. Then within those groups, they would be sorted whether they contain Kitchen anywhere in the string. So that the order would be Standard Kitchens, Standard Anything Else, Optional Kitchens, Optional Anything Else.
