Sending files by e-mail

I have an application, which when the user has finished with it, 3 files
have to be created and sent to other departments.

Previously the process of creating the files (extracting certain data from
the file) was done by macro and the new file was then sent manually.

I believe there is a way to automatically send these files. One of the
files is just one sheet and MUST be saved in.csv format, I have tried to do
this with code from ron de bruin's site but with no luck. This sheet is not
copied, it is a new sheet which data is copied to - it is then moved to a
new file.

The other two files have 2 and 5 sheets to be copied form the original file,
both saved as .xls

Any help gratefully received.

Gareth (confused)
 
Try this

Sub Mail_ActiveSheet()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim strdate As String
strdate = Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveSheet.Copy
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
With wb
.SaveAs Filename:="Part of " & ThisWorkbook.Name _
& " " & strdate, FileFormat:=xlCSV

.SendMail "(e-mail address removed)", _
"This is the Subject line"
.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
Kill .FullName
.Close False
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

You can use this also Sheets("Sheet5").Copy

See the example for send ing a sheets array on my site also
 
I need to get 2 cell values into the file name, the file name should be in
the format "2003+range("c1").value+range("b1").value.csv".

Also, I need to do some formatting before copying the sheet. Where should
this code go?

Hi Gareth

.SaveAs Filename:="2003 " & Range("c1").Value _
& " " & Range("b1").Value, FileFormat:=xlCSV

This will use the cells of the activesheet!

Also, I need to do some formatting before copying the sheet

If you don't want that formatting in your original workbook you can add
the code after the copy line and before the save code
 
Thanks for this, so far so good....

I will not be 'Activesheet.Copy' but 'Activesheet.Move',
will this make any difference?

One thing, the SaveAs box is displayed. How can I prevent
this?

Move will place the sheet on a other location in the workbook
Activesheet.Copy will create a new workbook with the activesheet in it

If you replace

.SaveAs Filename:="Part of " & ThisWorkbook.Name _
& " " & strdate, FileFormat:=xlCSV

with this

.SaveAs Filename:="2003 " & Range("c1").Value _
& " " & Range("b1").Value, FileFormat:=xlCSV

You don't see the saveas box
