    Dim xMailBody As String
    On Error Resume Next
    Set xOutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

              "This is line 2"
                  On Error Resume Next
    With xOutMail
        .To = "Email Address"
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "Test email send by button clicking"
        .Body = xMailBody

  Hi Siddic,
  Please separate multiple email addresses with semicolon. And if you need to close the workbook, the entire VBA is as below:
  
  Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

  Dim xOutApp As Object
  Dim xOutMail As Object
  Dim xMailBody As String
  On Error Resume Next

  Set xOutMail = xOutApp.CreateItem(0)
  xMailBody = "Body content" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
  "This is line 1" & vbNewLine & _
  "This is line 2"
  On Error Resume Next
  With xOutMail
  .To = "???@???.com;???@???.com"
  .CC = "???@???.com;???@???.com"
  .BCC = ""
  .Subject = "Test email send by button clicking"
  .Body = xMailBody
  .Display 'or use .Send
  End With
  On Error GoTo 0

Is it possible to have the button submit only the active worksheet as a non-editable form either excel or pdf format would be perfect? With the code I currently have (listed below) it attaches as a pdf but then wont open the file for the person that receives the email. Any help would be great

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim xFile As String
Dim xFormat As Long
Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim Wb2 As Workbook
Dim FilePath As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim OutlookApp As Object
Dim OutlookMail As Object
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set Wb = Application.ActiveWorkbook
ActiveSheet.Copy
Set Wb2 = Application.ActiveWorkbook
Select Case Wb.FileFormat
Case xlOpenXMLWorkbook:
xFile = ".pdf"
xFormat = xlOpenXMLWorkbook
Case xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled:
If Wb2.HasVBProject Then
xFile = ".pdf"
xFormat = xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Else
xFile = ".pdf"
xFormat = xlOpenXMLWorkbook
End If
Case Excel8:
xFile = ".pdf"
xFormat = Excel8
Case xlExcel12:
xFile = ".pdf"
xFormat = xlExcel12
End Select
FilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
FileName = Wb.Name & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss")
Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutlookMail = OutlookApp.CreateItem(0)
Wb2.SaveAs FilePath & FileName & xFile, FileFormat:=xFormat
With OutlookMail
.To = "test email"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "supply request"
.Body = "Please check and read this document."
.Attachments.Add Wb2.FullName
.Display
'.Send
End With
Wb2.Close
Kill FilePath & FileName & xFile

Hi Sir,

Would you please help me to add a table to "This is line 2" section in e-mail?
For example; I have a table from A1 to J9. But the table is dynamic, not static. I mean it needs to select the table and then add to e-mail to "This is line 2" line as table.

Thanks.

Hi, I run a spreadsheet with 80 individual bar accounts and have used VBA code on this page with much success. However in the body of the email I would like to copy and paste the specific range of cells of an account when sending so the client can have a history. Can you help with the VBA code for this?

Do you have to be an excel user when pushing the button to send an email? or just the person receiving the email has to be an outlook user?

Hi There,
Can anyone could help me on the following requirement?
I have an excel sheet having two drop down lists.

1 drop down list- list of departments

2 drop down list- category

What i want is when I select a department and category from the lists;(for example if I select "sales" in department and "monthly report" in category)

I need to email the PDF version of that work sheet to the sales team with the email subject is monthly report.

If i select "production" from the department list, the email should go to a group of people in the production.

I appreciate if you can help me on this

Hi all first off a Big thank you, this post is very helpful and works for the attachment. This works for me but no updates are saved in the sheet you have to hit the save button. I would like the attachment to have whatever is currently in the excel sheet.

I can accomplish this by using the excel built in E-mail feature but I wanted a button as I need to hardcode the specific email address.

So in summary I would like to know:

I would like to know if there is a way to: after a user open the excel workbook and made edits if the button will keep the attachment with the updates?

it only generates one email and will keep overwriting the contents instead of opening up multiply email drafts.

Is it possbile to write the script so that when you click the button it will attach itself to the email as above but remove the button as well? so that the copy of the file being emailed no longer has the button on it?

  Just below ".Body = xMailBody" add the following
  .Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
