Can someone possibly help. I have written the following macro to send an
excel spreadsheet as an attachment. It all seems to work well except,
for some reason, it does not put the text "Please find attached" that I
want in the body of the email. It only adds the attachment and the
subject title.

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?



Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook()
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With OutMail
..To = "
..CC = "
..BCC = ""
..Subject = "Text"
Dim strbody As String
strbody = "Please find attached" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Kind regards" & vbNewLine & _
"Me"
..Attachments.Add
("L:\somewhere\somewhere\somewhere\spreadsheet.xls ")
..Display
End With
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook()
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With OutMail
.To = "
.CC = "
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Text"
.Body = "Please find attached" & _
vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Kind regards" & _
vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Me"
.Attachments.Add _
"L:\somewhere\somewhere\somewhere\spreadsheet. xls"
.Display
End With
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

Hi,

How about something like the following: (you've assigned the variable but
haven't assigned it to the "Body" property)

Best regards
