The following VBA code sample sends a range of ten cells, A1 through B5, from the currently active workbook to the e-mail address specified in the code: Sub Send_Range ' Select the range of cells on the active worksheet. ActiveSheet.Range(&quot;A1:B5&quot;).Select ' Show the envelope on the ActiveWorkbook. ActiveWorkbook.EnvelopeVisible = True ' Set the optional introduction field thats adds ' some header text to the email body. It also sets ' the To and Subject lines. Finally the message ' is sent. With ActiveSheet.MailEnvelope .Introduction = &quot;This is a sample worksheet.&quot; .Item.To = &quot;E-Mail_Address_Here&quot; .Item.Subject = &quot;My subject&quot; .Item.Send End With End Sub Note This code only works with Microsoft Outlook. It does not work with any version of Microsoft Outlook Express.

Replace  with the e-mail address that you want to send the range to.

Note Item.Send in the code triggers an Outlook security warning to display the following message:

A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose &quot;No&quot;.

Click Yes to allow the mail to be sent.
