Send Attached excel sheet to varied email addresses

[forrestgump]

I am currently trying to create VBA to send a specified excel sheet to varied email sources. I currently have the code below which sends the attachment in an email to a specified source e.g. mrqwe@hotmails. com, however I want to change this so the address is chosen from a specified cell on a worksheet. I have tried to reference a cell e.g. .sendmail Sheets("sheet3" ).range("A1"),_ but this does not work. Any ideas anyone?

'Working in 97-2007
Dim FileExtStr As String
Dim FileFormatNum As Long
Dim Sourcewb As Workbook
Dim Destwb As Workbook
Dim TempFilePath As String
Dim TempFileName As String
 
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
 
Set Sourcewb = ActiveWorkbook
 
'Copy the sheet to a new workbook
Sheets("Sheet2").Copy
Set Destwb = ActiveWorkbook
 
'Determine the Excel version and file extension/format
With Destwb
If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
'You use Excel 97-2003
FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = -4143
Else
'You use Excel 2007
'We exit the sub when your answer is NO in the security dialog that you only
'see when you copy a sheet from a xlsm file with macro's disabled.
If Sourcewb.Name = .Name Then

Assuming Sheet3 is on the current workbook then try the following to reference the A2 ...

ActiveWorkbook. Worksheets("She et3").Cells(2, 1)

Unfortunately this did not work but thanks for your reply.

Why didn't it work? The syntax for referencing the value in the cell is correct.

If Destwb is the Workbook where this cell is then change the code to ...

.SendMail Destwb.Workshee ts("Sheet3").Ce lls(2, 1), "This is the Subject line"

.SendMail Destwb.Workshee ts("Sheet3").Ce lls(2, 1), "This is the Subject line"

Unfortunately i still can get this to work. Do you know if you can definiently reference a cell with the .Send mail function?

1. Test what this is returning

Destwb.Workshee ts("Sheet3").Ce lls(2, 1)

2. If it is returning the email address then declare a string variable and pass the value to that first. Then use the variable in the sendmail function.

I'm sorry I am not very strong with VBA I am not quite sure what I need to do?
