CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

[Howard31]

Hi,

I have procedure for sending mail. The problem is that the procedure will
work the first time it is executed but not the second time then the third
time it will work but not the fourth time and so on.

The sendEmail procedure is below.

Any help will be very much appreciated!

Public Sub sendMail()
On Error Resume Next

Dim oLApp As Object
Dim eMail As Object
Dim thisWb As String


thisWb = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & ThisWorkbook.Name
Set oLApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set eMail = oLApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With eMail
.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
.Subject = "some subject"
.Attachments.Add (thisWb)
.Display
End With

Set eMail = Nothing
Set oLApp = Nothing
End Sub

Try this

Set olApp = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
On Error GoTo 0
If olApp Is Nothing Then
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End If


I'm betting that the first time you run it, Outlook is not open and the
second time it is.

FWIW, you can replace



thisWb = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & ThisWorkbook.Name

with

thisWS = Thisworkbook.fullname

Thanks Barb Reinhardt! I'll try it out. By the way is "Thisworkbook.fullname"
availble in xl2003?
