      .Attachments.Add TempFilePath & "DashboardFile.jpg", olByValue
        .To = " "
        .Cc = " "
        .Display
    End With
End Sub
Sub createJpg(SheetName As String, xRgAddrss As String, nameFile As String)
    Dim xRgPic As Range
    Dim xShape As Shape
    ThisWorkbook.Activate
    Worksheets(SheetName).Activate
    Set xRgPic = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(SheetName).Range(xRgAddrss)
    xRgPic.CopyPicture
    With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(SheetName).ChartObjects.Add(xRgPic.Left, xRgPic.Top, xRgPic.Width, xRgPic.Height)
        .Activate
        For Each xShape In ActiveSheet.Shapes
            xShape.Line.Visible = msoFalse
        Next
        .Chart.Paste
        .Chart.Export Environ$("temp") & "\" & nameFile & ".jpg", "JPG"
