So through trial and error and some Googlefu, I have been able to create VBA code that will take an active sheet and the visible cells and create it a new workbook, named correctly and attached as an email to send. However, the newly created spreadsheet when opened from the email is set to no scaling so when it prints, what should be one page is now 4. While it is easily fixed by manually changing the page setup in the newly opened workbook before printing, I am trying to figure out how to set the page properties (scaling percent, fit all columns, or whatever I choose) automatically when the new workbook is created.
Any help from a VBA guru is most appreciated.
Below is my code:
Sub Mail_ActiveSheet()
Dim Source As Range
Dim Dest As Workbook
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim TempFilePath As String
Dim TempFileName As String
Dim FileExtStr As String
Dim FileFormatNum As Long
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set Source = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set Source = Range("A1:H75").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
If Source Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "The source is not a range or the sheet is protected, please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
Set Sheetname = ActiveSheet
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set Dest = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)
Source.Copy
With Dest.Sheets(1)
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
.Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
.Cells(1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End With
TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
TempFileName = "Lost Items for " & Sheetname.Name & " " & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yy")
If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = -4143
Else
FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51
End If
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With Dest
.SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.Display
.to = "someone@somwhere.com"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Lost Items for" & " " & Sheetname.Name
.HtmlBody = "Please see the attached spreadsheet. Have a nice day." & .HtmlBody
.Attachments.Add Dest.FullName
End With
On Error GoTo 0
.Close savechanges:=False
End With
Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub
