Excel Cell Email update

[rafterman79]

Hi guys,

Thanks for sorting me out last time, however I have another query:

I am using this VB script to email values in cells, the problem is when people have autosignatures with no carriage returns the data in excel is put on the same line as the auto sig, is there a way I can get a carriage return after the data output? I have tried adding Chr(13) (in bold below) but this didnt work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sean

ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, _

Sub SendEMail()
Dim Email As String, Subj As String
Dim Msg As String, URL As String

Email = " & "," &

' Message subject
Subj = ""
' Compose the message
thisrow = ActiveCell.Row
Msg = ""
Msg = Msg & Cells(thisrow, 3) & Chr(44) & Space(1) & Cells(thisrow, 4) & Chr(44) & Space(1) & Cells(thisrow, 5) & Chr(44) & Space(1) & Cells(thisrow, 6) & Chr(44) & Space(2) & Cells(thisrow, 7) & Chr(44) & Space(1) & Cells(thisrow, 8) & Chr(44) & Space(1) & Cells(thisrow, 9) & Chr(44) & Space(1) & Cells(thisrow, 10) & Chr(44) & Space(1) & Chr(13)

' Replace spaces with %20 (hex)
Subj = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Subj, " ", "%20")
Msg = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Msg & Chr(13), " ", "%20")

' Replace carriage returns with %0D%0A (hex)
Msg = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Msg, Space(1), "%0D%0A")
' Create the URL
URL = "mailto:" & Email & "?subject=" & Subj & "&body=" & Msg
' Execute the URL (start the email client)
ShellExecute 0&, vbNullString, URL, vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus
End Sub

Try using vbCrLf instead of the Chr(13)

Tried that but on Lotus Notes it does not work.

Any other ways of doing it I could try?

 

[rafterman79]

I have noticed that the cursor is at the start of the output on the email.

Dont know if this makes any difference but it might.

 

[rafterman79]

Msg = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Msg & Chr(13), " ", "%20")

What does this bit do? And if I put vbcrlf in do I have to put it in somewhere here?

Hi there,

Maybe try vbNewLine or Chr(10) instead. I believe the "%20" is a space in HTML.

Is that your entire sub routine, what you have posted above? There are some things with it that doesn't make sense to me, some ways you could improve it. Let us know if you'd like us to look at that.

The code is a cut-down of John W's "old faithful", but maybe unfamiliar out of context. It was credited in the original thread.

"%20" is a space in HTML.

Neither Chr(10) nor (13) worked for me; didn't try vbNewLine.

%0D is a carriage return and %0A is a line feed for Lotus Notes (and in general, and appears in this line of the code
"' Replace carriage returns with %0D%0A (hex)
Msg = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Msg, Space(1), "%0D%0A") "

I believe you need to make sure that your MIME settings are for quoted-printable for this to work.
