I am writing a VBA script in Access that creates and auto-populates a few dozen emails. It's been smooth coding so far, but I'm new to Outlook. After creating the mailitem object, how do I add the default signature to the email?
This would be the default signature that is automatically added when creating a new email.
Ideally, I'd like to just use ObjMail.GetDefaultSignature
, but I can't find anything like it.
Currently, I'm using the function below (found elsewhere on the internet) and referencing the exact path & filename of the htm file. But this will be used by several people and they may have a different name for their default htm signature file. So this works, but it's not ideal:
Function GetBoiler(ByVal sFile As String) As String 'Dick Kusleika Dim fso As Object Dim ts As Object Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set ts = fso.GetFile(sFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2) GetBoiler = ts.readall ts.Close End Function
(Called with getboiler(SigString = "C:\Users\" & Environ("username") & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures\Mysig.txt")
)
Thanks to JP (see comments), I realize that the default signature is showing up at first, but it disappears when I use HTMLBody to add a table to the email. So I guess my question is now: How do I display the default signature and still display an html table?
Sub X() Dim OlApp As Outlook.Application Dim ObjMail As Outlook.MailItem Set OlApp = Outlook.Application Set ObjMail = OlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem) ObjMail.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML ObjMail.Subject = "Subject goes here" ObjMail.Recipients.Add "Email goes here" ObjMail.HTMLBody = ObjMail.Body & "HTML Table goes here" ObjMail.Display End Sub
Under Mail > Layout, select Email signature. In the text box, create your signature. You can modify the formatting with the mini toolbar. Check the Automatically include my signature on messages I send box to append your signature to all outgoing emails including replies and forwards.
The code below will create an outlook message & keep the auto signature
Dim OApp As Object, OMail As Object, signature As String Set OApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set OMail = OApp.CreateItem(0) With OMail .Display End With signature = OMail.body With OMail '.To = "[email protected]" '.Subject = "Type your email subject here" '.Attachments.Add .body = "Add body text here" & vbNewLine & signature '.Send End With Set OMail = Nothing Set OApp = Nothing
