    VBA Outlook Email: Replace a text in the body by a cell value

    Hi guys,

    I am working on an Excel file to send emails to clients using VBA. I am a complete beginner
    I would like to know how to replace a value in my Outlook template by a value from excel.

    For example: I want to replace the word #Client# by the cell value where the client name is.

    Somehow, I managed to do this after many searches but as you can see there are no replace lines.

    Thank you for your help!!!

    Sub Email_From_Excel_Attachments()


    Dim emailApplication As Object
    Dim emailItem As Object
    Dim path As String

    Set emailApplication = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set emailItem = emailApplication.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\ClaudiaR\Desktop\1.oft")



    'Change to work email

    emailItem.SendUsingAccount = "[email protected]"

    emailItem.to = Range("R9").Value

    emailItem.BCC = Range("R22").Value

    'Subject
    emailItem.Subject = "Business Appointment"

    ' Attach any file from your computer.
    'emailItem.Attachments.Add Range("R34").Value





    ' Send or Display the Email
    emailItem.Display

    Set emailItem = Nothing
    Set emailApplication = Nothing

    End Sub

    I assume #Client# is in the body of the template.

    and let the name be in cell "A1", then add this to your code

    Thank you so much gue2013! It works

    Is it possible to have the template taken from a cell value? I can copy the file path in a cell. I wanna add an option to change the template based on client's language.

    Set emailItem = emailApplication.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\ClaudiaR\Desktop\1.oft")

    look into the attachment

    I defined a list that include templates (as many as you like)
    I also define a named range ("OUTLOOK_TEMPLATE") with data validation (dropdown with selection of your table of templates)
    then you can use following statement
