Variable value not populating

[Amber_D_Laws]

Once more into the breech dear friends...

Contrary to what I thought, my problem with the variable for sending
the email has not been resolved. However, I have narrowed down what is
going on, I just don't know how to fix it.

Please see the snipet below:


Code:
--------------------
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
'
'
'Secures the quote, emails it to the client via a user option, and saves the file
'in an emailable form for later use.
'
'Step 1 - Selects the quote sheet as the active sheet
Sheets("QUOTE").Select
'
'Prep 1 - Declares the varibles
Dim PMNm As String
Dim CtNm As String
Dim CtEA As String
Dim Answer
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim WBok As Workbook
Dim StDt As String
'
'
'Prep 2 - Defins the varibles
CtNm = Range("O20").Text
CtEA = Range("O25").Text
PMNm = Range("I12").Text
--------------------


Using the "Locals window" I steped through the code, and after this
line, the variables had not been populated with a value. So, by the
time I got to...


Code:
--------------------
'Step 3 - Displays a message informing the user that the quote has been protected and gives
'them an option to email the quote now
Answer = MsgBox("The quote has been successfully protected and is now safe to email." & _
Chr(13) & "Would you like to send the quote now?", vbYesNo, "Security Placement Complete!")
'
'Defines the behavior for the Yes and No buttons
If Answer = vbYes Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("QUOTE").Copy
Set WBok = ActiveWorkbook
With WBok
.SaveAs "Prepared Quote - " & ThisWorkbook.Name
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With OutMail
.To = CtEA
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Your quote is ready."
.Body = "The quote you requested is ready for your review.Please see the attached document." _
& Chr(13) & "Thank you for choosing STL Mobile, we look forward to doing business with you." _
& Chr(13) & "Regards," & Chr(13) & PMNm
.Attachments.Add WBok.FullName
.Attachments.Add ("X:\_FEE SCHEDULE & QUOTE MODULE\" & "STL Terms and Conditions" & ".xls")
.Send
End With
.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
Kill .FullName
.Close False
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="X:\FEE SCHEDULE & QUOTE MODULE\Created Quotes\" & "Email Version of " & ThisWorkbook.Name & ".xls"
MsgBox "The quote has been successuflly emailed to the address listed.", 64, "Process Complete."
Else
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="X:\FEE SCHEDULE & QUOTE MODULE\Created Quotes\" & "Email Version of " & ThisWorkbook.Name & ".xls"
MsgBox "The quote has been saved in a form suitable for email." & Chr(13) & "Please use the file named : " & ThisWorkbook.Name & " when emailing the client.", 64, "Process Complete."
End If
End Sub
--------------------


Where the variables are called, there is no value to return, and so I
end up with the error message saying that the To, CC, or BCC must be
populated with something.

The the cells that the code should be reading have values calculated
from formulas, but in a diffrent module, the very same cells are used
in variables with the same name with total success.

Any ideas why the values are not being read? I am at a loss.

Amber,
I tried the code as posted and it worked i.e. sent an
e-mail. I ssume from the posting some code is omitted so check you aren't
selecting another worksheet (other than "Quote)" before assigning the value
to ctEA.

Did you print (Debug) Range("O25") or just ctEA?

 

[Amber_D_Laws]

Thanks for responding Topper,

I am glad to know that the code dosen't contain some fatal flaw, and
that it is working for somebody. I have not used the Debug Print
command. Let me post all the code, and maybe you can find the problem.
I have been looking at it for days, and my eyes are crossing backwards
from it.


Code:
--------------------
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
'
'
'Secures the quote, emails it to the client via a user option, and saves the file
'in an emailable form for later use.
'
'Step 1 - Selects the quote sheet as the active sheet
Sheets("QUOTE").Select
'
'Prep 1 - Declares the varibles
Dim PMNm As String
Dim CtNm As String
Dim CtEA As String
Dim Answer
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim WBok As Workbook
Dim StDt As String
'
'
'Prep 2 - Defins the varibles
CtNm = Range("O20").Text
CtEA = Range("O25").Text
PMNm = Range("I12").Text
'
'
'Step 2 - Prepares the quote sheet to be emailed
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="STLMOB@900"
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Cells
.Locked = True
.FormulaHidden = True
End With
ActiveSheet.Columns("AD:AI").Hidden = True
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="STLMOB@900"
'
'
'Step 3 - Displays a message informing the user that the quote has been protected and gives
'them an option to email the quote now
Answer = MsgBox("The quote has been successfully protected and is now safe to email." & _
Chr(13) & "Would you like to send the quote now?", vbYesNo, "Security Placement Complete!")
'
'Defines the behavior for the Yes and No buttons
If Answer = vbYes Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("QUOTE").Copy
Set WBok = ActiveWorkbook
With WBok
.SaveAs "Prepared Quote - " & ThisWorkbook.Name
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With OutMail
.To = CtEA
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Your quote is ready."
.Body = "The quote you requested is ready for your review.Please see the attached document." _
& Chr(13) & "Thank you for choosing STL Mobile, we look forward to doing business with you." _
& Chr(13) & "Regards," & Chr(13) & PMNm
.Attachments.Add WBok.FullName
.Attachments.Add ("X:\_FEE SCHEDULE & QUOTE MODULE\" & "STL Terms and Conditions" & ".xls")
.Send
End With
.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
Kill .FullName
.Close False
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="X:\FEE SCHEDULE & QUOTE MODULE\Created Quotes\" & "Email Version of " & ThisWorkbook.Name & ".xls"
MsgBox "The quote has been successuflly emailed to the address listed.", 64, "Process Complete."
Else
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="X:\FEE SCHEDULE & QUOTE MODULE\Created Quotes\" & "Email Version of " & ThisWorkbook.Name & ".xls"
MsgBox "The quote has been saved in a form suitable for email." & Chr(13) & "Please use the file named : " & ThisWorkbook.Name & " when emailing the client.", 64, "Process Complete."
End If
End Sub

Amber,
It again ran successfully BUT when I looked at the value of
TO in the Locals Window it appeared not to be set, although it was.

Don't use the Locals Window: step through the macro using PF8 and look at
the value of the variables by placing the mouse over the variable name.

Re-confirm: I set Range("O25") in worksheet "QUOTES" to the TO -email
address (my own) and it was sent (and received) OK.

 

[Amber_D_Laws]

Ok...now I am really confused. Although, I am comforted that the coding
is not incorrect.
What could possibly cause it to be non functional for me, but function
correctly for you? Could some part of the worksheet itself be
corrupted, or God forbid, my Excel program?

Any suggestions?
Amber

Amber,
I confess to having no idea! If you want, you could send me
the whole workbook (if you think that would help) and I'll look at it here.

Hey Toppers,

Sorry for the long responce time, the lab got crazy for a few days. I
will send the file to you via email.

Thanks again!
Amber
