I am sending out emails (Lotus 8.5.2) with Excel spreadsheet attachments (Excel 2003) using vba code (thank you Ron De Bruin). The process has worked great, but now I want to add another spreadsheet column that will contain a formula that I want to be included in the attachment the email recipient receives (i.e., the recipient opens the attachment and enters their vehicle mileage into the spreadsheet and the conditional formula would display an error based on their input). With my current code, the formula does not come across with the attachment, only the actual error message that was in the spreadsheet when it was attached. Confusing, I know. Let me try again. Here is the formula I want to be included in the attachment:
If for example D2 is empty (column C has previous mileage, column D has current mileage), the formula would cause "ERROR, mileage not reported" to be displayed in E2. The problem is...only the message is what shows up in the email recipient's attachment (column E) and although it is still an accurate message for the recipient to see, I want the formula to also be there because the recipient will be asked to enter their mileage into the spreadsheet (and return to us) and the formula is supposed to alert them with the messages if the mileage they enter is wrong in some way.
Here is the section of my code that does the sending. Was wondering if my problem had to do with the CreateRichTextItem of > Set obAttachment = noDocument.CreateRichTextItem("stAttachment"). I'm a novice at vba code..so any help/direction would be very much appreciated.
