How can I retrieve the current user manager email address? I'm only able to get my e-mail address by calling the
Application.Session.CurrentUser.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser
while using
Application.Session.CurrentUser.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser.Manager
returns nothing... What i'm trying to achieve is to send an email to my manager right from excel sheet and automate it on other users computers (because they've other managers)
Sub Mail_workbook_Outlook_1()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
If IsEmpty(Range("A21").Value) = True Then ' check if cell is empty
MsgBox "Cell is empty!", vbCritical, "It would be better to not left it empty..." ' if so, show user a message
Else
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail ' outlook message details
.To = "xyz@xyz.net"
.Subject = "Sales report - " & Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyyy")
.Body = "Here comes the full sales report from " & Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyyy") & Application.Session.CurrentUser.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName ' add current file as an attachment to the outlook message
.Send
End With
On Error GoTo 0
MsgBox "File sent ", vbInformation, "You can now safely close the report" ' show confirmation message
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End If
End Sub
To get current User's Manager.
Example on outlook-vba
Option Explicit
Sub GetManager()
MsgBox CreateObject("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI") _
.CurrentUser.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser.Manager
End Sub
Edit
Remember user must have manager setup.
Modify your code this way
With OutMail ' outlook message details
.To = CreateObject("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI") _
.CurrentUser.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser.Manager
.Subject = "Sales report - " & Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyyy")
.Body = "Here comes the full sales report from " & Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyyy")
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName 'attachment File
.Display
' .Send
End With
