Sending attachments using access vba - ms-access

I am using the below code. It works find without the attachment line of code. But once I add the attachment line if get an error and can not work out how to correct it:
Dim Email
Dim CC
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objEmail As Object
Dim db As Database
Dim rec As Recordset
'Export report in same folder as db with date stamp
todayDate = Format(Date, "MMDDYYYY")
fileName = Application.CurrentProject.Path & "\XXDispute_" & todayDate & ".pdf"
DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, "XXDispute", acFormatPDF, fileName, False
strItem = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
strFrom = "XX Disputes <asd#asd.com>"
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
With objEmail
.To = "asd#asd.com"
.CC = ""
.From = strFrom
.Subject = "XXDispute Report: " & Now()
.Textbody = "Your XX dispute has been reviewed and responded to:" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
.Attachments Add = fileName
With .Configuration.Fields
.Item(strItem & "sendusing") = 2
.Item(strItem & "smtpserver") = "mailhost"
.Item(strItem & "smtpserverport") = 25
.Update
End With
.Send
End With
This is the particular line causing the problem:
.Attachments Add = fileName

Embedding an HTML file with images in an Outlook email generated by Excel VBA

I want to send a personalized email generated by Excel VBA.
The email contains personalized text followed by a html file that contains images.
I tried the following code but the images are not displayed.
Sub Mail_Outlook_With_Html_Doc()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim strbody As String
Dim oFSO As Object
Dim oFS As Object
Dim sText As String
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFS = oFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\....\invite.htm")
Do Until oFS.AtEndOfStream
sText = oFS.ReadAll()
Loop
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
'strbody = personalized email body generated here
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.display
.To = ToAdd
.CC =
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Test Email"
.ReadReceiptRequested = True
' the html file is appended here to the personalized email body generated
.HTMLBody = strbody & sText
.Send
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
The invite.htm referred above contains images which are not visible when the email is sent. Neither in the email messages sent nor in the email messages received.
Here ia an example that works for me you need to adapt it according to your needs.
This will embed the image in the body of the email and will attach it from what I remember. Please note you need to display the email first and then send it that is the only way to show on different device, i learn that the hard way. It can be done via code as the below example if you want to display and review the email just comment out the .Send after you are happy you can press manually send.

The issue I am having is when the email is generated, the strings within the range is cut at 9 Characters long.
The range consists of file paths like the below:
\csdatg09\financial systems\Automation\Pega Projects\Tax\FIN_TAX_GARY\Bristol\TEST TEST 108 EastCott Hill
\csdatg09\financial systems\Automation\Pega Projects\Tax\FIN_TAX_GARY\Exeter\TEST TEST 108 EastCott Hill
I would like to understand why the output is like the screenshot attached.
All, this is a duplicate question the answer I was looking for can be found here:
How to keep formats when I copy a range from Excel to outlook
Specific Code:
TempWB.Sheets(1)
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8

Left Align embedded range in Email

I'm having trouble getting a range that is embedded in an email to left align. I've tried several things but the embedded portion still centers in the email. Here is my code, which ironically, works just fine in other spreadsheets. I've tried adding HTML tags, changing the function(s), all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. This is on W7x64 and Office 2010. In this report I am embedding a pivot table instead of a regular range.
Thanks.

I'm not a 100% sure but this seems to be cause by your rng to html function.
I had a similar problem with an older range to html I was using, so my solution is a kind of workaround, by rewriting the function you are using.
Can't comment for lack of rep, so please take it with a grain of salt.
I'd suggest using this range_to_html function and expanding it with a workbook open/activate call for your workbook/sheet:
Function RangetoHTML(rng As Range) ' converts a range into html for email-sendout'
' Works in Excel 2000, Excel 2002, Excel 2003, Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Outlook 2000, Outlook 2002, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2010.
Dim FSO As Object
Dim ts As Object
Dim TempFile As String
Dim TempWB As Workbook
TempFile = Environ$("temp") & "/" & Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss") & ".htm"
' Copy the range and create a workbook to receive the data.
rng.Copy
Set TempWB = Workbooks.Add(1)
With TempWB.Sheets(1)
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, , False, False
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats, , False, False
.Cells(1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
On Error Resume Next
.DrawingObjects.Visible = True

On Error GoTo 0
End With
' Publish the sheet to an .htm file.

SourceType:=xlSourceRange, _
filename:=TempFile, _
sheet:=TempWB.Sheets(1).Name, _
Source:=TempWB.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Address, _

.Publish (True)
End With
' Read all data from the .htm file into the RangetoHTML subroutine.
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = FSO.GetFile(TempFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
RangetoHTML = ts.ReadAll
ts.Close
RangetoHTML = replace(RangetoHTML, "align=center x:publishsource=", _
"align=left x:publishsource=")
' Close TempWB.
TempWB.Close savechanges:=False
' Delete the htm file.
Kill TempFile
Set ts = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing
Set TempWB = Nothing
End Function
I've used this for everything range related and no matter what it picked out it was always in line with the general email format.
Source: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/485720-ron-de-bruin-rangetohtml.html
Since you are reading directly from the file the html might contain the allign command for the code. This one here does copying, and republishing which should circumvent the issue.
I'm also not sure how this code handles shapes, so it might not work for ranges with shapes.
Also if I misunderstood and the problem is that the text in the cells is left aligned lemme know, that would be easier to identify and fix.

Sending Emails from Access DB containing attachment with dynamic name

I do not know how to get this thing to work beyond this point.
My code below sends an email containing an attachment out of MS Access 2010.
The problem is if it requires a fixed file name, my file name changes as I am using the date at the end of each file. example: green_12_04_2012.csv. I also do not know how to make this not fail if the folder is empty or the directory changes. It would be great for it to just skip to the next sub rather than crashing.
My Code:
Dim strGetFilePath As String
Dim strGetFileName As String
strGetFilePath = "C:\datafiles\myfolder\*.csv"
strGetFileName = Dir(strGetFilePath)
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With MailOutLook
.BodyFormat = olFormatRichText
.To = "bob#builder.com"
''.cc = ""
''.bcc = ""
.Subject = "text here"
.HTMLBody = "text here"
.Attachments.Add (strGetFileName & "*.csv")
.Send
End With
End Sub
I think I am getting there.
I found a suitable resolution and in addition to the solution posted, I wanted to add this in-case anyone is searching for the solution. I was up until 3am, this is a very popular question but there was not any resolution in regards to looping an attaching all files in a specific folder.
Here is the code:
Public Sub sendEmail()
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strFile As String
strPath = "C:\Users\User\Desktop\" 'Edit to your path
strFilter = "*.csv"
strFile = Dir(strPath & strFilter)
If strFile <> "" Then
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With MailOutLook
.BodyFormat = olFormatRichText
.To = "bob#builder.com"
''.cc = ""
''.bcc = ""
.Subject = "text here"
.HTMLBody = "text here"
.Attachments.Add (strPath & strFile)
.Send
'.Display 'Used during testing without sending (Comment out .Send if using this line)
End With
Else

Sending an Email from MS Access No third party dll allowed

I need to send a series of email notifications from an MS Access Database.
No third party dll's like Redemption
Cannot trip the outlook security warnings
The email will have a pdf attachment
I know to do this I need to use MAPI, but I can't seem to find a way to do this with VBA.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Scott
If you can live with requiring CDO to be present on the machine, and you don't mind a user-provided SMTP server, you can use that. Just google for some example code, but for you convenience I'll paste some below from www.rondebruin.nl :
Sub CDO_Mail_Small_Text()
Dim iMsg As Object
Dim iConf As Object
Dim strbody As String
' Dim Flds As Variant
Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
' iConf.Load -1 ' CDO Source Defaults
' Set Flds = iConf.Fields
' With Flds
' .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
' .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") _
' = "Fill in your SMTP server here"
' .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
' .Update
' End With
strbody = "Hi there" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 1" & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 2" & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 3" & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 4"
With iMsg
Set .Configuration = iConf
.To = "ron#debruin.nl"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.From = """Ron"" <ron#something.nl>"
.Subject = "Important message"
.TextBody = strbody
.Send
End With
End Sub
Adding an attachment would be done using .AddAttachment "C:\files\filename.pdf" on the iMsg.
If the user has outlook installed:
Dim strErrMsg As String 'For Error Handling
Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim olNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oleGrf As Object
Dim strFileName As String
Set olNameSpace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set oleGrf = Me.OLEchart.Object
strFileName = "c:\temp\Graph.jpg"
oleGrf.Export FileName:=strFileName
With olMail
.To = "someone#somewhere.com"
.Subject = "Graph Info " & Format(Now(), "dd mmm yyyy hh:mm")
.Attachments.Add strFileName
.ReadReceiptRequested = False
.Send
End With
Kill strFileName

See the page Microsoft Access Email FAQ - Directly via the Winsock I haven't tried those myself but you should be able to adapt the VB6 code to send the emails directly.
