Default Problem with E-mailing from Excel

Use a on error resume next

From my site :

If you click No on the Outlook security pop up screen that ask you
if it is OK to send the mail use this to avoid the error.

Sub test()
On Error Resume Next
ActiveWorkbook.SendMail ", _
"This is the Subject line"
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Thanks for that, that worked. Not sure why all of a sudden it wouldn't work without explicitly stating the xls extension

Another side point. The temp file that is created when sending via your code - if you actually send the e-mail it is deleted, but
if a user takes the "No" option on the Microsoft security message, this temp file is saved to your hard disk, I think in the last
"active" directory the user is in. That means sometimes files get saved all over my hard disk and a clean up can be bothersome
trying to find them. Is it possible you could specify a directory where these temp files are always saved to? Thus if the user
takes the No security option, you can easily locate all those temp files?

Thanks Ron

Hi John

Try this


Change this

.SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Name _
& " Sent on" & " " & strdate & ""


To

.SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Name _
& " Sent on" & " " & strdate & ".xls"

I'm having a problem E-Mailing a spreadsheet via Code from Excel. The code itself is fine, but the file is added as an
attachment as a "dat" extension. This has only just started having worked for a long number of months.

I have used VBA Code Cleaner but that has made no difference

I have checked to ensure that the References have been set to "Microsoft Ooulook 10 library"

My PC is clean of any viruses (AFAIK)

I have using Excel / Outlook XP

Anyone ever have similar problem? Code to E-mail is below (thanks to Ron De Bruin), but don't think thats the issue, because why
would it suddenly cause a problem?




Sub Mail_Reports()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim strdate As String
Dim MyArr As Variant
strdate = Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy h-mm")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("E-Figures").Visible = True
Sheets("E-Import").Visible = True
Sheets(Array("E-Figures", "E-Import")).Copy
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
With wb
.SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Name _
& " Sent on" & " " & strdate & ""
MyArr = Sheets("E-Figures").Range("AJ1:AJ3")
.SendMail MyArr, Sheets("E-Figures").Range("AJ4").Value
.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
Kill .FullName
.Close False
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Sheets("E-Figures").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Visible = False

Sheets("E-Import").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Visible = False

Sheets("Home").Select
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
