Email Excel Spreadsheet as Email Body Issues
Posted by Kelly's Chronicles in Uncategorized on May 14, 2016
Hello all. I had a production manager wanting an excel spreadsheet mailed as the body of the email. As some of you know the code generated by excel to produce the email is pretty crazy. But as a result, it showed up fine in Outlook and Android but it did not show the gridlines on the spreadsheet. So this code is based on the excellent work by Ron DeBruin over at http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s1/outlook/bmail3.htm . I did a replacement for the HTML Range in this manner and the grid lines did appear. And the manager was happy.
Sub Mail_Selection_Range_Outlook_Body()
‘For Tips see: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/winmail/Outlook/tips.htm
‘Don’t forget to copy the function RangetoHTML in the module.

Dim rng As Range
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
‘MsgBox Cells(5, 9).Value
Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
‘Only the visible cells in the selection
Set rng = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
‘You can also use a fixed range if you want
‘Set rng = Sheets(“YourSheet”).Range(“D4:D12”).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
If rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox “The selection is not a range or the sheet is protected” & _
vbNewLine & “please correct and try again.”, vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
Set OutApp = CreateObject(“Outlook.Application”)
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.To = “you@you.com”
.CC = “”
.BCC = “”
.Subject = “Testing Purchase Order Email To Steve”
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
Replace .HTMLBody, “border-left:none”, “border-left:solid;border-width: 1px;border-color:black”
Replace .HTMLBody, “border-right:none”, “border-right:solid;border-width: 1px;border-color:black”
Replace .HTMLBody, “border-bottom:none”, “border-bottom:solid;border-width: 1px;border-color:black”
Replace .HTMLBody, “border-top:none”, “border-bottom:solid;border-width: 1px;border-color:black”
.Send
‘or use .Display
