SentOnBehalfOf not working in Excel 2010 VBA Code - excel

I am working on a VBA script for mailing through Outlook in Excel 2010. Everything runs fine with one exception: the .SentOnBehalfofName line will not work. Here is the complete code
Sub Mail()
' Working in Office 2010-2013
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strbody As String ' This is for the Body of the email
Dim signature As String ' This is for the email signature
On Error Resume Next
'Set OutMail = Nothing
'Set OutApp = Nothing
Dim sh As Worksheet
Set sh = Sheets("Mail")
strbody = sh.Range("C9").Value
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail ' This inserts the email signature
.Display
End With
signature = OutMail.HTMLBody
With OutMail
'.Display
.To = sh.Range("C5")
.CC = sh.Range("C6")
.BCC = sh.Range("C7")
.Subject = sh.Range("C8").Value
.HTMLBody = "<br>" & strbody & fncRangeToHtml(sh.Range("C13").Value, sh.Range("C14").Value) & signature
.SentOnBehalfOfName = sh.Range("C4").Value
.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
If I remove this section the .SentOnBehalfOf works, but I lose my signature line:
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail ' This inserts the email signature
.Display
End With
signature = OutMail.HTMLBody
If I put this back in the code, I get my signature line back, but I lose my ability to send on behalf of another party.
I'm looking for a solution that allows me to do both. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my solution. I needed to move the .SentOnBehalfOfName to the first statement in the WITH Command, then .Display immediately after that. I replace the string for signature line with .HTMLBody to pull in the signature line. Code runs fine now!
I don't know why the statements need to be in this order, but it works.......
Sub Mail()
' Working in Office 2010-2013
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strbody As String ' This is for the Body of the email
On Error Resume Next
'Set OutMail = Nothing
'Set OutApp = Nothing
Dim sh As Worksheet
Set sh = Sheets("Mail")
strbody = sh.Range("C9").Value
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail
.SentOnBehalfOfName = sh.Range("C4")
.Display
.To = sh.Range("C5")
.CC = sh.Range("C6")
.BCC = sh.Range("C7")
.Subject = sh.Range("C8").Value
.HTMLBody = "<br>" & strbody & fncRangeToHtml(sh.Range("C13").Value, sh.Range("C14").Value) & .HTMLBody
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing

How to send TextBox contents as an email body?

I am trying to send an email by pressing a button. Everything works fine other than the body of the email. It always shows up blank. The body is being typed into TextBox1 (NOT User Form). I was hoping that putting it in a textbox would format it when sending the email.
Sub Email()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim strbody As String
Dim ChartName As String
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
ChartName = Environ$("temp") & "\Chart4.gif"
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Send Email").ChartObjects("Chart 4").Chart.Export _
Filename:=ChartName, FilterName:="GIF"
With OutMail
.To = Range("A2")
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = Range("A4")
'.body is the only thing not working it always shows up blank
.Body = Worksheets("Send Email").TextBox1.Value
.Attachments.Add ChartName
.Display 'will use send when working
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Kill ChartName
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

Auto Email Send from outlook using excel information from the cell

I need to send auto email from Excel using Excel Outlook, I was trying coding but unable to do it. I have attached sheet for your reference.
Sub SendEmail()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail
.To = "ABC#gmail.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Report"
.Body = "Hello!"
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
.Send
End With
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
Application.OnTime TimeValue("17:00:00"), "SendEmail"
End Sub
You will need to reference and login into the Outlook.Namespace before creating the email.
Try adding this to to your code:
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
'** -> add this block here
Dim OutNS as Object
Set OutNS = OutApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
OutNS.Logon
'**
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

Sending email alert from excel to Outlook

I am trying to send a test mail from excel to Outlook, However I am getting error message : Run Time Error 287 in the following line :
OutMail.Send
Please find below my code:
Sub sendds()
Dim OutMail As MailItem
Dim outlookapp As Outlook.Application
Dim myInspector As Outlook.Inspector
Set outlookapp = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
Set OutMail = outlookapp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With OutMail
.To = "email address"
.Subject = "test mail"
.Body = "Hi this is test email"
OutMail.Send 'Getting error on this line
End With
Set outlookapp = Nothing
Set OutMail = Nothing
End Sub
That is because you have incorrect email or email address format should be email#email.com or for testing purpose use .Display
Also change it to just .Send
With OutMail
.To = "email#address.com"
.Subject = "test"
.Body = "Hi this is test email"
.Send
End With
**For workaround **
With olMail
.To = "email"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = ""
.Display
.Send
End With
try the below:
Public Sub emailUsFeature()
Set outApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set outMail = outApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With outMail
.To = "abc#xyz.com; def#xyz.com"
.CC = "ghi#xyz.com"
.BCC = "jkl#xyz.com"
.Subject = "This is the subject."
End With
outMail.display
End Sub
Based on the comment "when I am using outMail.display it displays the email which I want to send but I actually want to send the email" the code is too fast. It would likely as well work if you stepped through with F8.
You could use Excel's Wait to delay the send.
This should as well work for all applications and it would be the minimum waiting period.
Sub sendds_ErrorHandlerWait()
Dim OutMail As MailItem
Dim outlookapp As Outlook.Application
Dim myInspector As Outlook.Inspector
Set outlookapp = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
Set OutMail = outlookapp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With OutMail
.To = "email address"
.Subject = "test mail"
.body = "Hi this is test email"
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
' Err.Raise 287 ' for testing
' Err.Raise 1 ' for testing
.Send
On Error GoTo 0
End With
ExitRoutine:
Set outlookapp = Nothing
Set OutMail = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
Select Case Err
Case 287
DoEvents ' To accept clicks and to allow escaping if Outlook never opens
Debug.Print " <Ctrl> + <Break> to escape"
Resume
Case Else
On Error GoTo 0
' Break on other lines with an error
Resume
End Select
End Sub
It appears your Outlook setup requires a display. If there is no fix for that situation, you may be able to use an invisible display.
Sub sendds_InspectorRatherThanDisplay()
Dim OutMail As mailItem
Dim outlookapp As Outlook.Application
Dim myInspector As Outlook.Inspector
Set outlookapp = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
Set OutMail = outlookapp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With OutMail
.To = "email address"
.Subject = "test mail"
.body = "Hi this is test email"
Set myInspector = .GetInspector
.Send
End With
ExitRoutine:
Set outlookapp = Nothing
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set myInspector = Nothing
End Sub
I am always adding in DoEvents and Application.Wait 1 to do this.
I usually don't display the email (and it is commented out here) so it just sends in the background. Works for me every time.
You obviously have to feed this sub from another with the arguments. An example of that is also here. (for example you could have the email address, file name etc. in each row and send an email dynamically for each row)
Sub LoopThroughTable()
For i = 2 To Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
email_to = Sheet1.Cells(i, 4).Value
email_subject = Sheet1.Cells(i, 3).Value
email_body = Sheet1.Cells(i, 8).Value
file_path = Sheet1.Cells(i, 2).Value & Sheet1.Cells(i, 3).Value
SendOutlookMessage email_to, email_subject, file_path, email_body
Next i
End Sub
Sub SendOutlookMessage(ByVal email_to As String, ByVal email_subject As String, ByVal file_path As String, ByVal email_body As String)
emailTo = email_to
emailSub = email_subject
FullPath = file_path
HTMLBODY = email_body
DoEvents
Application.Wait 1
Dim olApp As Object
Dim olMail As Object
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(0)
With olMail
.to = emailTo
.Subject = emailSub
.Attachments.Add (FullPath)
.HTMLBODY = HTMLBODY
DoEvents
'.Display
Application.Wait 1
.Send
End With
Application.Wait 1
Set olMail = Nothing
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub
Hope that helps.

How can I send an Excel file via email?

I have to create and send an Excel file every month via email to my boss.
I want to use a VBA code to send the file as attachment, but my VBA code doesn't work and asks for debug after confirmation.
My code:
Sub EMail()
ActiveWorkbook.SendMail Recipients:="user#gmail.com"
End Sub
Credit where credit is due... This is straight from the Ron de Bruin website.
Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook_1()
'Working in Excel 2000-2016
'This example send the last saved version of the Activeworkbook
'For Tips see: https://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s1/outlook/tips.htm
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.to = "ron#debruin.nl"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.Body = "Hi there"
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
'You can add other files also like this
'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
.Send 'or use .Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Here is an example on how to send Active Workbook as attachment
Option Explicit
Sub EmailFile()
Dim olApp As Object
Dim olMail As Object
Dim olSubject As String
' // Turn off screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
olSubject = "This Subject Line"
With olMail
.Display
End With
With olMail
.To = "0m3r#EMail.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = olSubject
.HTMLBody = "This Body Text " & .HTMLBody
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
'.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt") ' add other file
' .Send 'or use .Display
.Display
End With
' // Restore screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Set olMail = Nothing
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub
You can use the VBA code snippet as shown in the following sample:
Sub SendEmailWithAttachment()
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments
myAttachments.Add "C:\MyExcelFile.xls", olByValue, 1, "Test"
myItem.To = "Recipient Address"
myItem.Send
'alternatively, you may display the item before sending
'myItem.Display
End Sub
Hope this may help.
