EXCEL to OUTLOOK as attachment

I am currently using the code below to export the active sheets from my workbook to Outlook in PDF format. I am looking to change the VBA code so that it does exactly the same thing as it does now with the exception of it being in PDF format. I want it to be in the same format as the current spreadsheet, which is .xlsm or it could even convert it to a regular .xls (the macro function is no longer needed once it is emailed)

Does anyone know how to update this code so that it will do this for me. I figure it's easy but I'm not sure how to change it.

Unfortunately your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

Instead of the code that Exports the filename use the File SaveAs syntax to save the file, and change the extension from .pdf to .xlsm or .xls

Even though I have solved this, your answer has intrigued me. I'm not curious if I'm reading your reply correctly. Is there a way that either of my previous codes above can be altered so that the current .xlsm file would be exported to Outlook as a .xls file?

Hi,

Yes just use the file format number 56. e.g (or 57 if Excel for Mac)
