I have used both the .body and .HTMLbody. With both approaches I managed to get only 90% of what I want. I prefer using .HTMLBody as it allows the signature to be populated.
Below is the coding from various online tutorials/vids.
Sub CopyRangeToOutlook_Client 1()
Dim oLookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oLookItm As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oLookIns As Outlook.Inspector
Dim signature As String
Dim oWrdDoc As Word.Document
Dim oWrdRng As Word.Range
Dim ExcRng As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set oLookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err.Number = 429 Then
Err.Clear
Set oLookApp = New Outlook.Application
End If
Set oLookItm = oLookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
signature = oLookItm.Body
Set ExcRng = Sheet3.Range("A1:E26")
strbody = "<BODY style = font-size:14pt;Color:RGB(96,97,96)>" & _
"Dear Client,<p> I trust you are well.<p>" & _
"Please see below ............. weekly reference rates.<p>" & _
"Kind Regards"
With oLookItm
.Display
.To = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com"
.CC = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com"
.Subject = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx // xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Pty) Ltd - Weekly Reference Rate" & " - " &
Format(Date, "(dd-mm-yyyy)")
.HTMLBody = strbody & _
.HTMLBody
Set oLookIns = .GetInspector
Set oWrdDoc = oLookIns.WordEditor
Set oWrdRng = oWrdDoc.Application.activeDocument.Content
oWrdRng.collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
Set oWrdRng = oWdEditors.Paragraphs.Add
ExcRng.Copy
oWrdRng.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteMetafilePicture
End With
End Sub
The email is created using the .HTMLBody format with the defined context in the strbod0y with the desired signature at the bottom.
The Excel range extracted as the image appears after the signature section.
I would like it between the text as defined in the strbody or if it is possible to mark the space between the text and paste the image at the preserved "location".
Here is a way you could do it.
Sub Demo()
Dim Body As String
' Define your email body, use placeholder
' where you want image to go, e.g. [IMAGE]
Body = "<BODY style = font-size:14pt;Color:RGB(96,97,96)>" & _
"Dear Client,<p> I trust you are well.</p>" & _
"<p>Please see below ............. weekly reference rates.</p>" & _
"[IMAGE]" & _
"<p>Kind Regards</p>"
With CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(0)
.Display
.To = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com"
.CC = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com"
.Subject = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx // xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Pty) Ltd - Weekly Reference Rate" & " - " & _
Format(Date, "(dd-mm-yyyy)")
.HTMLBody = Body & .HTMLBody
With .GetInspector.WordEditor.Content
' If the placeholder exists...
If .Find.Execute("[IMAGE]") Then
' Copy image from Excel
Sheets("Sheet3").Shapes("Picture 1").CopyPicture
' Paste over placeholder
.Paste
End If
End With
End With
End Sub

My aim is to paste a range as an image into an Outlook email. I turned on the references in the VBA editor for MS Excel, Word and Outlook 15.0 as my latest version on my network.
I've spent hours looking through previously answered similar questions.
I cannot save the image as a temporary file/use html to reference the attachment as a solution due to other users not having access to specific drives where it would be temporarily saved if they ran the code on their own machines.
If I remove the email body section the image pastes fine however if I have both pieces of code in together, the email body writes over the image. I do however need the image to be pasted within the email body text.
Sub CreateEmail()
Dim OlApp As Object
Dim OlMail As Object
Dim ToRecipient As Variant
Dim CcRecipient As Variant
Dim PictureRange As Range
Dim OApp As Object, OMail As Object, signature As String
Set OlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OlMail = OlApp.createitem(olmailitem)
ExtractName = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("macros").Range("C11").Value
ToRecipient = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("macros").Range("K11")
OlMail.Recipients.Add ToRecipient
CC_Check = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("macros").Range("k10")
If CC_Check = "" Then GoTo Skip_CC
CcRecipient = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("macros").Range("K10")
OlMail.Recipients.Add CcRecipient
OlMail.Subject = ExtractName
signature = OlMailbody
With OlMail
Set PictureRange = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("DCTVV").Range("A2:D13")
PictureRange.Copy
OlMail.Display
'This section pastes the image
Dim wordDoc As Word.Document
Set wordDoc = OlMail.GetInspector.WordEditor
wordDoc.Range.PasteAndFormat wdChartPicture
'This section is the email body it needs inserting into
OlMail.body = "Text here," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Today's report is attached." & vbNewLine & _
"IMAGE NEEDS TO BE PASTED HERE" _
& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "More text here" _
& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Kind regards,"
.signature
End With
Set OMail = Nothing
Set OApp = Nothing
OlMail.Attachments.Add ("filepath &attachment1")
OlMail.Attachments.Add ("filepath &attachment2")
'OlMail.Attachments.Add ("filepath &attachment3")
OlMail.Display
End Sub
From what I understand the picture pastes fine to email's body, right?
In this case you might just need to add .HTMLBody like so:
olMail.HTMLBody = "Text here," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Today's report is attached." & vbNewLine & _
.HTMLBody & _
vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "More text here" & _
vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Kind regards,"
This is an example of my code that we use on my job te send emails:

Now if you can already create the images, just save them on the workbook path and you can attach them like this. When attaching images I suggest you that the names of the files don't contain spaces, found out this the hard way until figured it out, html won't like them with spaces.
If your code suddenly stopped working after migrating to Office 365 or for any other reasons, please refer to the code below. Comments have been added for easy understanding and implementation.

However, as developer, I recommend a code that's rather compatible with all versions of Excel instead of making system changes because system changes will be required on each end user's machine as well.

I generate reports to send to different branches. I run a macro that creates protected reports (*.xlsm). These reports have a space for comments for the Branch Managers, with a "send Comments" button that run this macro below.
I suggested the following references to add if the macro does not work.
The Branch Managers have different versions of MS Office (Excel, Outlook, etc.) on their laptops. When they try to Run, it shows errors, such as: "Error in Loadind DLL"; Error2, etc.
What should be done on the Branch Managers side to run this Macro?

I have to send reports to over 400 email addresses (on column B). The filepaths for each report are on columns C, D and E.
With this post: How to add default signature in Outlook the signature is added when the .display method is used.
The signature I want to show is for user number 1. I've selected the corresponding signature as a default signature for new messages.
This signature contains a picture, but this doesn't seem to cause any problems.
I wouldn't want the macro to show the mail every time it sends the mail, because I want to avoid the constant blinking on the screen.
I tried to look for something like "hide" method from here but didn't find anything useful (.display would run in the background, and it would stay hidden from the user). Other idea was to add application.screenupdating = false and correspondingly true in the end, but this didn't have any impact.
How could I display the email in the background without showing it every time to the user?

I would like to modify this script to include an attachment in the email that it creates. Cell F5 on worksheet "Instructions" contains the file path. I've tried to modify it using information from several different sources.
Here is a working version, pre-attachment attempts:
Sub CreateMails()
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objMail As Object
Dim rngTo As Range
Dim rngSubject As Range
Dim rngBody As String
Dim rngAttach As Range
Dim SigString As String
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objMail = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)
With Worksheets("Data validation")
Set rngTo = .Range("J63")
Set rngSubject = .Range("J61")
strbody = "One time vendor number request." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Thank you," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"__________________________________" & vbNewLine & _
.Range("J67") & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"My Company" & vbNewLine & _
"123 Address street" & vbNewLine & _
"City, State, Zip, USA" & vbNewLine & _
"Telephone:"
End With
With objMail
.To = rngTo.Value
.Subject = rngSubject.Value
.Body = strbody
.Save
End With
Set objOutlook = Nothing
Set objMail = Nothing
Set rngTo = Nothing
Set rngSubject = Nothing
Set strbody = Nothing
Set rngAttach = Nothing
End Sub
All you should need is:
With objMail
.To = rngTo.Value
.Subject = rngSubject.Value
.Body = strbody
.attachments.Add Range("F5").Value 'add the attachment
.Save
End With
Using your code, this worked for me.

Hi I am using the below code to send multiple emails based on different cases. (Email addressess and other information are stored in a worksheet) The code works fine however I have 20 different cases (example below only shows two). Putting the outlook application code within each case seems cumbersome.
Is there a method to perform the email against each case without having to express the outlook code within each case?
I have searched using For Each Case without any luck. Help is greatly appreciated.

I see two cases you showed follow one template, how about creating sub which sends emails retreiving subject, to etc. from parameters and then calling it from within Select Case with proper values passed?
