'Updated by Extendoffice 2017/9/12
Dim xRgSel As Range
Dim xOutApp As Object
Dim xMailItem As Object
Dim xMailBody As String
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set xRg = Range("A2:E11")
Set xRgSel = Intersect(Target, xRg)
ActiveWorkbook.Save
If Not xRgSel Is Nothing Then
Set xOutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set xMailItem = xOutApp.CreateItem(0)
xMailBody = "Cell(s) " & xRgSel.Address(False, False) & _
" in the worksheet '" & Me.Name & "' were modified on " & _
Format$(Now, "mm/dd/yyyy") & " at " & Format$(Now, "hh:mm:ss") & _
" by " & Environ$("username") & "."
With xMailItem
.To = "Email Address"
.Subject = "Worksheet modified in " & ThisWorkbook.FullName
.Body = xMailBody
.Attachments.Add (ThisWorkbook.FullName)
.Display
End With
Set xRgSel = Nothing
Set xOutApp = Nothing
Set xMailItem = Nothing
End If
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Notes:
1). In the code, A2:E11 is the range you will send email based on.
2). Please change the email body as you need in xMailBody line in the code.
3). Replace the Email Address with the recipient email address in line .To = "Email Address".
4). Change the email subject in line .Subject = "Worksheet modified in " & ThisWorkbook.FullName.
3. Press the Alt + Q keys simultaneously to close the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.
From now on, any cell in range A2:E11 is modified, a new email will be created with the updated workbook attached. And all specified fields such as subject, recipient and email body will be listed in the email. Please send the email.

Note: The VBA code is only working when you use Outlook as your email program.
