Hi Everyone, 

Thanks a lot for this forum and all those helpful posts - a truly great bunch of talented people !!

I've been trying to get a code to 

1) Save my Active Worksheet into a Pdf file with a pre-determined name

2) Attach it to an email with pre-determined subject, Email-To and Email- CC 

3) Copy part of the worksheet into the Email Body 

I've managed to get the first two running but I just can't get my Email Body to work. 

I've used this great post by Philip Treacy as well as Ron de Bruin's RangetoHTML function and tried to combine the two but when I try to run it I get a 91 type Error - Undefined Variable. 

The Debugor points to the line : rng.Copy, which to me is not a variable but a command action, as rng is defined at least twice in the code before. 

Here is the complete code : 

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Application.ReferenceStyle = xlA1

Dim EmailSubject As String, EmailSignature As String

Dim Email_Body As String

Dim CurrentMonth As String, DestFolder As String, PDFFile As String

Dim Email_To As String, Email_CC As String, Email_BCC As String

Dim OpenPDFAfterCreating As Boolean, AlwaysOverwritePDF As Boolean, DisplayEmail As Boolean

Dim OverwritePDF As VbMsgBoxResult

Dim rng As Range

Dim OutlookApp As Object, OutlookMail As Object

CurrentMonth = ""

' **************************************************

' ** You Can Change These Variables ******

EmailSubject = "Emergence Actions (FR0011742683) - Amortissement en capital - ACMN - " 'Change this to change the subject of the email. The current month is added to end of subj line

OpenPDFAfterCreating = False 'Change this if you want to open the PDF after creating it : TRUE or FALSE

AlwaysOverwritePDF = False 'Change this if you always want to overwrite a PDF that already exists :TRUE or FALSE

DisplayEmail = True 'Change this if you don't want to display the email before sending. Note, you must have a TO email address specified for this to work

Email_To = ActiveSheet.Range("J10") 'Change this if you want to specify To email e.g. ActiveSheet.Range("H1") to get email from cell H1

Email_CC = ""

Email_BCC = ""

Email_Body = RangetoHTML(rng)

 

' ***************************************************

'Prompt for file destination

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)

If .Show = True Then

DestFolder = .SelectedItems(1)

Else

MsgBox "You must specify a folder to save the PDF into." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Press OK to exit this macro.", vbCritical, "Must Specify Destination Folder"

Exit Sub

End If

End With

'Current month/year stored in H6 (this is a merged cell)

CurrentMonth = Mid(ActiveSheet.Range("H6").Value, InStr(1, ActiveSheet.Range("H6").Value, " ") + 1)

'Create new PDF file name including path and file extension

PDFFile = DestFolder & Application.PathSeparator & "Emergence Actions - Amortissement en Capital - ACMN " _

& "_" & CurrentMonth & ".pdf"

'If the PDF already exists

If Len(Dir(PDFFile)) > 0 Then

If AlwaysOverwritePDF = False Then

OverwritePDF = MsgBox(PDFFile & " already exists." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to overwrite it?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "File Exists")

On Error Resume Next

'If you want to overwrite the file then delete the current one

If OverwritePDF = vbYes Then

Kill PDFFile

Else

'Create the email body

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set ts = fso.GetFile(TempFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)

ts.Close

TempWB.Close savechanges:=False

'Delete the htm file we used in this function

Kill TempFile

Set ts = Nothing

Set fso = Nothing

Set TempWB = Nothing

End Function

 

I am a complete beginner in VBA and find myself at my wits ends. 

 Many thanks in advance to anyone who could help me. 

Best !

Hi Alexandra,

You are calling the RangetoHTML function and passing in rng, but rng has no value, hence the error you are getting.

Also, whatever RangetoHTML returns is not actually being added to the email body.

I've corrected both of these things so the attached workbook works for me.

Just comment out my line Set rng = Range("A1:C2") and uncomment yours.

Regards

Phil
