Hello,
I would like to modify Ron De Bruin's mail code to make the attachment be a pdf instead of an excel attachment. http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s1/outlook/amail8.htm this is the exact post of Ron's I got it from originally. I am also attaching a sample file of how the format of my report is, with all made up numbers of course.
What the macro currently does, is loop through Column A and filters onto a new workbook every row that has "USER1" in column A and attaches it to the email address specified in Column B. Every time the value changes in Column A, like from USER1 to USER2, a new workbook with that user's rows is created and attached to an email.
I would like the attachment to be a pdf and not in excel format. If it could keep the formatting from Excel at the same time that would be preferable.
Also, I have searched through old forum posts and while their are posts related to modifying Ron's mail code, he has many various codes for mailing, printing to pdf etc. and I am by no means a veteran VBA coder. I was thus unable to find the solution I desire with the aid of this forum's previous posts or Google's help.
Any help is appreciated!!
