Default Problem with .sendmail

Hi all,

I am creating a spreadsheet that is sent out to individuals, they fill in
details and then using a "submit" button, return it to me.

I am using code I got from Ron DeBruin's site but unfortunately I cannot get
it to work. Excel gets to the point of sending the email and then just
freezes. When I run this from VBA explorer it works ok and the dialog box
saying Excel is trying to send an email appears and the email is sent when I
press yes. The problem is that it won't work if VBA is not open. Any ideas?
The send code is below.

'Save the new workbook/Mail it/Delete it

'TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
TempFilePath = Dir

'TempFileName = "Part of " & Sourcewb.Name & " " & Format(Now,
"dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss")
TempFileName = Filename & " Returned" & ".xls"

MsgBox "Your form is being returned"

With Destwb
.SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum

MsgBox "Saved Temp File"
On Error Resume Next
MsgBox "About to send"

.SendMail ", _
TempFileName
'On Error GoTo 0
MsgBox "Sent"
.Close SaveChanges:=False
End With

'Delete the file you have send
Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName

With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub

Alternative code that I have used in the past is a s follows:

Dim Mail As String
Let Mail = "

' Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSendMail).Show arg1:=Mail


This works but the sendmail option seemed slightly more elegant (and also
removed most opportunities for users to mess up the process.
