I have a big Excel file that sends, with a command button, e-mails to Managers at work, and then they can press the button and it sends the files to Managers below them.
Since every manager has her/his own version of MS Office
, I have a sub that checks which version (s)he has on her/his computer and marks V
in References
.
When I save the file, I save it in a status that Outlook Object Library
is not marked with V
, and I have code that someone else built. The code runs through 3 subs. The first sub has a msgbox
that when you answer on it, Yes , it sends you to next sub.
Public Sub before_send_mail()
answer = MsgBox("Send Email?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Empty Sheet")
If answer = vbYes Then
Call excel_ver
Call sendMail
Call remove_ref
Else
'do nothing
End If
End Sub
Then, I have the "references picker by office version" that checks which version there is installed on the computer and marks V
automatically in Tools---->References
in Outlook
object. That part seems to work well too.
Sub excel_ver()
On Error Resume Next
ver = Application.Version
If ver = 16 Then
tmp_name = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\MSOUTL.OLB"
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References.AddFromFile tmp_name
Exit Sub
End If
If ver = 15 Then
tmp_name = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\MSOUTL.OLB"
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References.AddFromFile tmp_name
Exit Sub
End If
If ver = 14 Then
tmp_name = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSOUTL.OLB"
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References.AddFromFile tmp_name
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
And then we get to the problem. When I get to sub sendMail
it gives me an error on the line Dim applOL As Outlook.Application
Public Sub sendMail()
Call ini_set
If mail_msg.Cells(200, 200) = 1 Then
lr = main_dist.Cells(main_dist.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
On Error Resume Next
For i = 2 To lr
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim applOL As Outlook.Application 'Here is the error ---- that line
Dim miOL As Outlook.MailItem
Dim recptOL As Outlook.Recipient
mail_msg.Visible = True
mailSub = mail_msg.Range("B1")
mailBody = mail_msg.Range("B2")
mail_msg.Visible = False
Set applOL = New Outlook.Application
Set miOL = applOL.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set recptOL = miOL.Recipients.Add(main_dist.Cells(i, 5))
recptOL.Type = olTo
tempPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & main_dist.Cells(i, 4) & ".xlsm"
With miOL
.Subject = mailSub
.Body = mailBody
.Attachments.Add tempPath
.send
End With
Set applOL = Nothing
Set miOL = Nothing
Set recptOL = Nothing
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Next i
End If
End Sub
During pre-compile process Outlook.Application
is not valid as it is not set in Tools\\References...
. If you want to keep your code working you need to run ini_set
first and before sendMail
is even compiled. Try to add new subroutine to call both in a sequence:
Sub MainSub()
call ini_set
call sendMail
End Sub
To make it clear- remove Call ini_set
from your sendMail
and each time you have to call both do it from separate subroutine.
Important! With this solution you could keep outlook appilcation constants
(like olMailItem
) which is not possible when you switch to Late binding solution
.
Should run with no reference required:
Public Sub sendMail()
Dim applOL As Object, miOL As Object, recptOL As Object
Dim i As Long
ini_set
If mail_msg.Cells(200, 200) = 1 Then
Set applOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
For i = 2 To main_dist.Cells(main_dist.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set miOL = applOL.CreateItem(0) 'olMailItem=0
Set recptOL = miOL.Recipients.Add(main_dist.Cells(i, 5))
recptOL.Type = 1 ' olTo=1
With miOL
.Subject = mail_msg.Range("B1")
.Body = mail_msg.Range("B2")
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & _
main_dist.Cells(i, 4) & ".xlsm"
.send
End With
Next i
Set applOL = Nothing
End If
End Sub
EDIT: in the code above I removed some of your "single-use" variables, but that's just my preference...
