SendMail uses a different mechanism that doesn't invoke Outlook directly. If you want Outlook functionality, you have to play by Outlook's rules. In this case, that means saving the file before attaching it.

OK, but...

If I use this statement, it works well:
ActiveWorkbook.SendMail Recipients:=MyEmailAddresses, Subject:= MySubject

but I do not get C:\Templates\WMR.oft.

My Excelsheet is attached, but with a blank body.

Maybe you can help me further.

That's not possible. Outlook can only attach a file programmatically if it has first been saved.

Hello,

I made a program in Excel that mails the Activesheet.
For each email I add the name of the repicient. So it is personalized. I
want to use a specific Outlook template.

To do this, I have to save my Excelsheet first. But that takes a lot of time.
So, I want to send my email without saving.

I use the following code.

Sub SendMyEmail()

Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItemFromTemplate _
("C:\Templates\WMR.oft")

Set wb = Workbooks(Active_Excel_File)
With wb
.SaveAs "C:\Temp\" & MySubject & " " & MyDate & ".xls"

With OutMail
.To = email
.Subject = MySubject & " " & MyDate
.Attachments.Add wb.FullName
.Send
End With

.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly

Kill wb.FullName

Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing

End With

End Sub

Who can help me out?
Thanks a lot!

Willem
