How to add an attachment to an email using VBA in Excel

Question

I have the following code but it is not working. I am fairly new to VBA as well. The code works to populate the email template but as soon as I add the .Attachment.Add it does n

Answer 1

Try this:

Sub emailtest()

Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objMail As Object
Dim rngTo As Range
Dim rngSubject As Range
Dim rngBody As Range
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objMail = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)

With ActiveSheet
Set rngTo = .Range("E2")
Set rngSubject = .Range("E3")
Set rngBody = .Range("E4")
End With

With objMail
.To = rngTo.Value
.Subject = rngSubject.Value
.Body = rngBody.Value
.Attachments.Add "Z:\PHS 340B\Letters of Non-Compliance\..Resources\W9 Form\VPNA W-9 01 09 2017"
.Display 'Instead of .Display, you can use .Send to send the email _
            or .Save to save a copy in the drafts folder
End With

Set objOutlook = Nothing
Set objMail = Nothing
Set rngTo = Nothing
Set rngSubject = Nothing
Set rngBody = Nothing

End Sub

You need to use the .Attachments.Add when working within Outlook not Excel.
