Outlook macro

teza2k06 · #1 07-13-2017, 11:18 AM

Hi All,

I have found some basic macro coding online so that when i click a button on my ribbon it will open up the e-mail template

Code:

Sub email()
Set msg = Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\trb19\Desktop\test email.oft")
msg.Display
End Sub

The above code works with no problems.

However i have used the same coding (below) so that it opens a similar email, but with an attachment that will be sent in the e-mail. I have added this macro to the ribbon, but when i click on this button nothing happens

Code:

Sub InterviewPaperwork()
Set msg = Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\trb19\Desktop\interview record.oft")
msg.Display
End Sub

I am new to this, so it might just be a little error that i have done, but could anyone help me out so that it will open the email template with attachment??

Many thanks

Is the template 'interview record.oft' on your desktop?
If you click the template icon on the desktop does the message open?

If i open the template from the desktop then yes it will open. But when i try to open it from my toolbar within outlook then nothing opens.

If i open up visual basic and run the code, it does work and opens up the e-mail, just does not seem to work when i click the button under my toolbar
