I'm trying to send the active Excel workbook as an attachment via Outlook.
Whenever I run the code it says
Invalid use of New key word
at New Outlook.MailItem`.
Sub SendOutlook()
'Declaring Variables
Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutlookEmail As Outlook.MailItem
'Assigning variables to create outlook application and mailitem
Set OutlookApp = New Outlook.Application
Set OutlookEmail = New Outlook.MailItem
With OutlookEmail
'Format of the mail
.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
'Body of the mail
.Body = "Dear Someone" & vbNewLine & "How are you?"
'To whom you want to send mail
.To = "[email protected]"
'Subject of mail
.Subject = "Write Subject Here"
'TO add an attachment
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
'sends the mail
.Send
End With
End Sub
You cannot create a MailItem
via New
. It must be created using CreateItem
of the the Outlook Application Object.
Set OutlookApp = New Outlook.Application
Set OutlookEmail = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
