I'm trying to use a variable to insert an image in an e-mail.
With OutlookItm
.To = strTo
.CC = strCc
.Subject = strSubject
.HTMLBody = "Hello all, <p>In attach the <b>Filtered Trunk Report</b> and below the <b>Invoice Volume chart</b>:</p>" & _
"<center><img src = Filename:ChartFile1 ></center>" & "<p>.</p>" & _
"<center><img src = 'C:\Users\matuo\OneDrive\Desktop\Chart2.jpg'></center>" & Signature
.Display
End With
The code works for "Chart2.jpg", but I want to use a variable for the directory and file.
The picture using the variable doesn't work.
Let's image you have got a string object pathToImage which contains the image path, in that case the code may look like:
With OutlookItm
.To = strTo
.CC = strCc
.Subject = strSubject
.HTMLBody = "Hello all, <p>In attach the <b>Filtered Trunk Report</b> and below the <b>Invoice Volume chart</b>:</p>" & _
"<center><img src = " & pathToImage & " ></center>" & "<p>.</p>" & _
"<center><img src = 'C:\Users\matuo\OneDrive\Desktop\Chart2.jpg'></center>" & Signature
.Display
End With
However, a local path to image is not really a good idea. Such images will not be displayed on the recipient side because the image itself is stored on your machine. Most probably you'd need to embed an image to the email itself. To get that done you need to attach the image file and set several properties - they are actually optional, even the following code works fine:
.Attachments.Add "C:\Users\JoeSchmo\Pictures\imageName.jpg", olByValue, 0
.HTMLBody = "<BODY><IMG src=""cid:imageName.jpg"" width=200> </BODY>"
But ideally you'd need to set the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID and PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN properties. For example:
Function SendasAttachment(fName As String)
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim olAtt As Outlook.Attachments
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set olMsg = olApp.CreateItem(0) ' email
Set olAtt = olMsg.Attachments
Const PR_ATTACH_MIME_TAG = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x370E001E"
Const PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001E"
Const PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x7FFE000B"
' attach file
olAtt.Add (fldName & fName)
Set l_Attach = olAtt.Add(fldName & fName)
Set oPA = l_Attach.PropertyAccessor
oPA.SetProperty PR_ATTACH_MIME_TAG, "image/jpeg"
oPA.SetProperty PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID, "myident"
oPA.SetProperty PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN, True
olMsg.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/8514000B", True
olMsg.To = "test#email.com"
msgHTMLBody = "<HTML>" & _
"<head>" & _
"</head>" & _
"<BODY>" & "Hi " & olMsg.To & ", <br /><br /> I have attached " & fName & " as you requested." & _
"<br /><img align=baseline border=1 hspace=0 src=cid:myident width='400'/>" & _
"</BODY></HTML>"
' send message
With olMsg
.Subject = "Here's that file you wanted"
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = msgHTMLBody
.Save
'.Display
.Send
End With
End Function

The below code with .PNG file referenced, works for me. However, while the .PNG gets inserted in the email, it's not actually embedded. As a result, when the recipient receives the email, the image is not displayed.
Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook_1()
relativepath1 = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "Signature99" & ".png"
'Create a new email message
Set OutlookMessage = OutlookApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With OutlookMessage
.To = Prime_Email
.cc = cc1
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Volume - " & " " & str2 & "(" & Subject & ")"
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(Range("E2:N16")) & "<img src ='" & relativepath1 & "'>"
.send
'.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutlookMessage = Nothing
Set OutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub
First attach the image to your email, and then embed it within your email...
Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook_1()
Dim relativepath1 As String
relativepath1 = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator
Dim filename As String
filename = "Signature99.png"
'Create a new email message
Set OutlookMessage = OutlookApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With OutlookMessage
.To = Prime_Email
.CC = cc1
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Volume - " & " " & str2 & "(" & Subject & ")"
.Attachments.Add relativepath1 & filename
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(Range("E2:N16")) & "<img src ='cid:" & filename & "'>"
.Send
'.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutlookMessage = Nothing

Firstly, you cannot concatenate two HTML strings and expect a valid HTML string back. The two must be merged.
Secondly, if the font size is explicitly set in the HTML signature, your code explicitly wrapping the signature in an element with a specified font size would do nothing. You'd need to use the HTMLDocument interface or the Word object model to set the size.
Or, the simplest possible solution, make sure the stationary signature already has the right font.
You should use the following code replace the .HTMLBody content:
Signature = "<b style='color:red;'>Your Sigature</b>"
With OutMail
.To = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.HTMLBody = "<font style='font-size:20px !important;'> Hello <br /><br/><br/><b>Production Period:</b> DateSerial(Year(PayPrd)<br /><b> Pay Date:</b> DateSerial(Year(PayPrd), Month(PayPrd) + 1, 10)<br/><br/>Please let me know if you have any questions.<br/><br/><b style='font-size 14px !important'>" & Signature & "</b></font>"
.Display
If the font size is set in the HTML signature, You'd need to use the HTMLDocument interface to set the size.
I created an Macro in MS Outlook for an email. The user inputs an answer to a question which results in a variable storing that data as a string. An email is then generated in HTML with a hyperlink containing that variable. I can't seem to figure out how to concatenate the variable "strTrackingNumber" into the complete hyperlink. Any suggestions?
Option Explicit
Sub TestFile
Dim strTrackingNumber as String
strTrackingNumber = InputBox("Please input the Tracking Number")
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMsg
.To = "mickey.smith#surfer.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Forecast"
.Categories = ""
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML ' send HTML message
.HTMLBody = "<style> body{color:black;font-family:Arial;font-size: 12pt;}" & _
"<HTML><body>Dear Member,<br><br> The following document is ready for your review."<a href= 'http://www.bluewave.com/' & strTrackingNumber>Tracking & strTrackingNumber.</a></body>
.Display
End With
Set objMsg = Nothing
End Sub
Output link should look like this: http://www.bluewave.com/Tracking Number
e.g. http://www.bluewave.com/RA-15-30922
.HTMLBody = "<style> body{color:black;font-family:Arial;font-size: 12pt;} </style>" & _
"<HTML><body>Dear Member,<br><br> " & _
"The following document is ready for your review. " & _
"<a href= 'http://www.bluewave.com/" & strTrackingNumber & "'>Tracking " & _
strTrackingNumber & ".</a></body>"
I am using Microsoft Access to send out emails and am trying to insert an image into the email so that there is a signature.
I am aware that for a recipient to see the image they must have access to it, so because the image is on my local hard drive I am trying to embed it into the body of the email.
I have followed the link: How to add an embedded image to an HTML message in Outlook 2010
To have the following code:
Dim MyOutlook As Object
Dim MyMessage As Object
Set MyOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MyMessage = MyOutlook.CreateItem(0)
Dim colAttach As Outlook.Attachments
Dim oAttach As Outlook.Attachment
Set colAttach = MyMessage.Attachments
Set oAttach = colAttach.Add("C:\user1\Documents\signature.jpg")
With MyMessage
Dim Greeting As String
If Time >= #12:00:00 PM# Then
Greeting = "Afternoon,"
Else
Greeting = "Morning,"
End If
.To = strTo
.Subject = strSubject
.HTMLBody = "<font face=Arial><p>" & "Good " + Greeting + "</p>"
.HTMLBody = .HTMLBody + "<p>" & "Please find attached your latest document." & "</p>"
.HTMLBody = .HTMLBody + "<p>" & "If you have any questions...." & "</p>"
.HTMLBody = .HTMLBody + "<p>" & "Kind Regards" & "</p>"
.HTMLBody = .HTMLBody + "<p>" & "..." & "</p></font>"
.HTMLBody = .HTMLBody + "<IMG alt='' hspace=0 src='cid:signature.jpg' align=baseline border=0>"
strAttachments = "2"
If strAttachments <> "" Then
For i = 0 To intNrAttch - 1
.Attachments.Add strFiles(i), 1, intPos
Next i
End If
.Send
End With
But for some reason, what happens it'll attach the image to the email but not display it:
Can someone please help?
It might be worth noting, that I can have pretty much the same code to send out an email with an image from Excel that work's, so I think there's something with Access that is preventing the code from working.
I had a similar problem. My "fix" was to include a .Display before the .Send.
I am trying to add an image from an Excel sheet to an Outlook email.
I tried using a link to an image stored in a network location and on the Internet. However, not all users will have access to these locations.
Is it possible to store the image in another worksheet and then copy it into the email body?
I know the below won't work because you can't export shapes but can I do something like this?
ActiveUser = Environ$("UserName")
TempFilePath = "C:\Users\" & ActiveUser & "\Desktop\"
Sheets("Images").Shapes("PanelComparison").Export TempFilePath & "\PanelComparison.png"
panelimage = "<img src = ""TempFilePath\PanelComparison.png"" width=1000 height=720 border=0>"
The CreateEmail Sub calls the SaveToImage Sub. The SaveToImage sub grabs a range, creates a chart on a new page and then saves the picture(objChart) to a specified directory.
The LMpic string variable calls the image just saved and inputs it into the HTML body.

In general email images are stored on a web server, with the SRC pointing to that server (http://...). They're not embedded in the email itself.
