I am using the following VBA code to try and copy a range from a workbook and paste this into an email:
This is the piece of code causing the issue. Error 438 'object doesn't support this property or method' on this line:
WB3.Range("A20:J30").SpecialCells (xlCellTypeVisible)
Code:
'Insert Range
Dim app As New Excel.Application
app.Visible = False
'open a workbook that has same name as the sheet name
Set WB3 = Workbooks.Open(Range("F" & i).value)
'select cell A1 on the target book
WB3.Range("A20:J30").SpecialCells (xlCellTypeVisible)
Call stream.WriteText(rangetoHTML(rng))
If i use ThisWorkbook, seems to work fine. It's something wrong with how i am defining the other workbook.
My cells in column F all contain valid paths like:
G:\BUYING\Food Specials\2. Planning\3. Confirmation and Delivery\Announcements\2017\test\Accrol.xlsx
Pleas can someone show me where i am going wrong? Ideally i would rather get the range from the workbook without having to open it, but alas i am brand new to vba so not sure if this would work.
The aim is to get the range put into the body of an email.
Call stream.WriteText(rangetoHTML(rng))
