Prevent Email Code From Opening New Instance Of Outlook Every Time
Aug 28, 2013
the code always opens a new instance of Outlook even though one may already be open. If left unchecked I may have like 30 instances open if I leave the computer for a few hours. So I was wondering is there some snippet of code I can add in here to check if excel is open first and if so do not open a new instance?
Code:
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
' Change the mail address and subject in the macro before you run it.
With OutMail
.To = "xxxx@live.com"
I have multiple buyers that use an Excel workbook containing several macros to perform edits on other workbooks they receive via email. Generally, they have the workbook containing the macros open, and they can double-click the workbooks they receive in the email messages to open them, and the macros are available from the "master" workbook.
Recently, however, some of the buyers have been getting new computers running Windows 8 and Office 10. Now when they have the "master" workbook open, and double-click the attached workbook in an email, (Outlook 10), the new workbook opens in a new instance of Excel, and as a result the macros are not available to run on the newly opened workbook.
The work around has been to right-click the attachment and save it to their desktop, and then use the File/Open command from the "master" to open the new file. This is a hassle and takes extra time.
I'm sure I am overlooking a setting somewhere that tells Excel to always open new workbooks using the same instance of Excel, (there are two people using the new systems that aren't having problems, and two that are), but for the life of me I can't find where to set these parameters.
i was able to setup a email code, which will automatically extract the unique row reference data and sends the email. However, i am struggling to add couple of things, i searched most of the web portals .. wasn't lucky.
1. while email drafting i need to use the data from Column B onwards
2. i need to insert the default email signature during email draft ...
I would like to search an outlook folder for a variable in the subject line and return the date when that email was received. Here is the code i have so far...
Code: Sub Get_pos()
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Dim olNs As Outlook.Namespace Dim Fldr As Outlook.MAPIFolder Dim olMail As Variant
I have a macro to send emails to a group people that based on various criteria, it will attach a number of files to a recipient's particular email. This is a small portion of the code that does the attachment adding:
Code: If Range("B" & a) = "Y" Then If citChev "" Then .Attachments.Add citChev End If If Range("C" & a) = "Y" Then If citMits "" Then .Attachments.Add citMits End If If Range("D" & a) = "Y" Then If citToyo "" Then .Attachments.Add citToyo End If If Range("E" & a) = "Y" Then
[code].....
Most people get several of the files attached to their email and all works fine. But, there are certain conditions when all the IF() stmts fail where a recipient will not get any files attached. I do not want to send the email if this is the case, but it currently is sending it.
Is there a way after all the IF() stmts have processed to check to see if this current email has any attachments assigned to it? (IF .Attachments "" Then...) does not work.
I'm creating an excel file that can email itself inside the body of a HTML in Outlook. I have found some code from the web and have re-fitted it so that I may use it for my purpose. My main issue is this: I cannot keep my default Outlook signature on the email when it gets sent.
Any way to open a single instance of excel in two different windows. I use multiple monitors, and I like to have one worksheet maximized on one screen, and another worksheet maximized on the other, but when both worksheets are open in the same instance of excel this does not seem possible. Also, I don't want to use two separate instances, because then I can't paste special from one worksheet to the other.
"Prevent Outlook Access Request" but it kept binning the Request Part. So sorry in advance for the misguidance.
Second up :-
when i use the below code
Private Sub CommandButton22_Click() Sheets("Sheet1").Select Range("A1:Z1").Select Selection.Copy Workbooks.Open ("\ifdata002opsqual$Quality_and_RiskLive LogLive Log2.xls") If ActiveCell.Value = Empty _ Then ActiveCell.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _ False, Transpose:=False _ Else: Do Until ActiveCell.Value = Empty ActiveCell.Select ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select Loop
Outlook always asks "A program is trying to access Outlook - do you want to prevent access or allow" (or words to that affect) then you choose a time you allow it access.
Is there a way to prevent that daft wee box appearing - is this an Outlook issue more than excel? If it is outlook is there any way i can code it into excel to prevent the request coming up?
How can I prevent a user from opening another workbook in an Excel session "from the outside"?
I'm fairly new to VB. I'm developing (in VB 2003) a simple but SECURE Excel environment which will allow a user to update a hidden Master_Records workbook. I need to keep the user's Excel session secure...for example, I've disabled all Excel Toolbars and Command Buttons, effectively preventing the user from doing anything except filling in some cell values and clicking on a few custom buttons in the worksheet. But how can I prevent the user from opening another workbook into the active session from his desktop and introducing some malicious code into the session via that route?
One respondent in another forum (the only one, in fact) suggested that I look into "instantiating workbook level events" so that I can detect when other workbooks are open. I'm not sure what that means, is there someone here who could give me some guidance into that solution?
I know how I can protect worksheet or a group of cells, but I can not prevent any one to damage it by (open with) WORDPAD to clean or damage it then to cancel this protection!
I currently have a spreadsheet that my deparment use at work. Its just a full time equivallent sheet, nothing fancy. However I added code onto it to prevent users opening it as I was updating it.
However I went to open it and It wouldnt open. It wouldn't recognise me as being the exception. Its just a code on the workbook open that says if user is "slb090" (which is me) then do nothing, else msgbox and just a quickie sayign come back later".
I have attached the spreadsheet, in the hope someone can open this for me and remove the message so I can open it!
Below I have my code that works great. What I would like to do is make it pull the .HTMLBody from a cell value instead of inbeded in the code so users can change, just like to I have it below for who I am sending it to. The issue is if I do it the same way I loose my signature and the font, size and color I have below. How can I do this.
range("P16") would be the 1st line of the mesage range("P17") would be the 2nd line of the mesage range("P18") would be the 3rd line of the mesage
All the sendkeys below copy a range and paste it below my message as a picture currently. That is fine.
I have some code to literally email a workbook to a specific user. But when the email is sending...i am getting the warning form Outlook whethere to send or not. If the user clicks No...then this opens up a can of worms when asking to debug. Is there a way i which i can amend the code to disable this warning and send regardless...without changing security settings in outlook???
All my emails have a specific Subject line pattern. e.g. if the request is for Jason.. The subject line is "Issue with Desktop [JAS].. There are 10-15 such names and each one of them has a short name in the subject line of the email.. For each of those names there is a folder. I would want subject lines with [JAS] to move to JAS folder and so on..
I am using a code copied from Ozgrid to email a worksheet but the code doesn't seem to work?
Sub Mail_Sheet_Outlook_Body() Dim rng As Range Dim OutApp As Object Dim OutMail As Object With Application .EnableEvents = False . ScreenUpdating = False End With
Set rng = Nothing Set rng = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.PrintRange 'UsedRange Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") OutApp.Session.Logon .......................
I have a range in an Excel worksheet named 'Request'. I want to paste this range into the body of an email and send to sepcified recipient via outlook. I tried the following code, but this does not seem to work. Am I not referencing to Outlook correctly?
Private Sub cmd_Send_Request_Click() Dim objol As New Outlook.Application Dim objmail As MailItem Dim varBody As String Dim objdata As DataObject Set objol = New Outlook.Application Set objmail = objol.CreateItem(olMailItem) Set objdata = New DataObject Application.Goto Reference:="Request" Selection.Copy objdata.GetFromClipboard varBody = objdata.GetText With objmail .To = "kully.rai@ca.com" .Subject = "Benchmarking Request" .body = varBody & vbCrLf & vbCrLf .NoAging = True .Display End With Set objmail = Nothing Set objol = Nothing End Sub
I have attached a version of my file with code that I have adjusted. Everything is working except for the save as portion of it. I keep getting a run time error 1004. The save as of the workbook failed. Also, when I run the macro in the template that I have uploaded it opens up the original file that I had the code in.
I run excel 2010 on a windows 8.1 machine. In excel I have email address that I need to mail from however when I click the hyperlink it automatically directs me to Hotmail. Is there a way to change that to automatically load Outlook instead?
I am trying to write a macro to compose an email in outlook without sending it. Ideally the macro would compose the email and the email would be left open for me to inspect before sending. Below are the details.
Column A contains the addresses Column B contains the CC addresses Cell C2 contains the message
I can change where the above info is located/arranged if need be.
My spreadsheet automatically generates the email addresses, which are dynamic. For control purposes my employer does not want me to have the email automatically sent, being the reason for me to want to inspect the email before sending it.
i have the following code in my Excel worksheet. This code successfully send out email to our customers when if the criteria is true. I have tested this at home and it works perfectly as I use Outlook at home. However when I take this code to work I couldn't get this working as at work we use Outlook 365 and we use web Outlook, OWA.
Is there a setting I can specify to use OWA as I don't think I am allowed to install outlook at work.
I have a spreadsheet with a number of different actions with various different dates associated to them. Is it possible to create a macro that will automatically send an email to my outlook inbox (or somebody elses) when the date is due or upcoming?
Also is it possible to include different content in the email based on say the title of the action etc?
I am trying to make a macros for sending an email through excel using outlook.
The body of the email should contain ..(The following case has been processed and ready for Quality Check and also picks the case# from Cell "C3" and "D3")
The subject line should say "Case Processed and take the case # from Cell "B2".
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've written code into excel that sends workbooks to email recipients. This works fine except for use on one friends computer. Of course it's the friend that needed the code in the first place. What happens is that when the macro attempts to mail a spreadsheet an outlook popup occurrs warning that a macro is attempting to email a message. And so nothing gets emailed out!
I am automating Excel to send an email with a range as the body of the email. This all works fine and the email is presented before sending with the correct information.
The difficulty comes as I have a hyperlink (to intranet site) and when excel imports the data, it doesnt convert it into a hyperlink. It remains as text and hence you cannot click on it.
I have tried changing my outlook options to text and using word as editor, neither work. Has anyone else come across this issue?
