OUTLOOK from Excel

M

Matt

I have borrowed this code from a web site which I can not remember at the
minute. I have four problems with it.


1 A messages pops up informing me that another program is trying to send
email. I do not want this message to pop up.

2 Sometimes the email I am sending ends up in the Outbox with it not being
sent.

3. After selecting and running the macro several times and then bringing up
Task Manager there seems to be many instances of OUTLOOK running.

4 It seems to send two messages for every selection I made instead of the
one email which I want.

Any ideas on how to overcome these problems would be greatly appreciated.




'Using HTML in Message Body


Sub RangeInBody()

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olMail As MailItem

Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With olMail
.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
.Subject = "This is the Subject"
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(Selection)
.Send
End With


Set olMail = Nothing
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub

'255 character limit when copying sheets
Rng.Parent.Copy

Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set Rng2 = wb.Sheets(1).Range(Rng.Address)

'Delete rows below

'Delete columns to left
If Rng2.Columns(1).Column > 1 Then
DelCol1 = Chr(64 + Rng2.Parent.Columns(Rng2.Columns(1).Column -

Kill TempFile

Hi

http://www.rondebruin.nl/sendmail.htm#Prevent

3. After selecting and running the macro several times and then bringing up
Task Manager there seems to be many instances of OUTLOOK running.

Because there is a bug in Outlook you must uncheck
"send immediately when connect" in the Outlook options.
Tools>Options>Mail Setup in the Outlook menu bar.

I must go now
If you need more help post back I try to help you this evening

Hi Matt

Some more Info

The Outlook problem seems to be fixed in Office 2003
Ms don't fix this problem in earlier versions.

So If you have a problem with this then uncheck "send immediately when connect".
I only use CDO on this moment myself because it don't have a problem like this and also
don't have the security warning.

Matt,
3. After selecting and running the macro several times and then bringing up

Add the line:
olAPP.Quit

before
Set olMail = Nothing

Setting olApp = Nothing clears memory but doesn't close the App.

I have tried the code listed below, it uses CDO and works perfectly from
home, however when I try to send emails from work I get the following
message "Run Time error '-2147220960 (80040220). When I hit Debug it stops
at the line .Send . I can send email using outlook from my computer at
the same time so that I am connect to the internet but when I use CDO I get
this message (at work only). Any ideas what this error message is about.

Thanks
Matt
