Need to add multiple (more than two) email recipients in vba code...

I have more than two email recipients, how do I get them in there. I tried to seperate them with ";" but still won't work. Thanks for looking at it.


Public objOutlook As Object
Public objNS As Outlook.Namespace
Public objMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Public objRecipient As Outlook.Recipient

Sub SendEmail()
'Sets the objOutlook & objNS public variables to the user's Outlook session.
'This will blow up if Outlook is not running.
Set objOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
Set objNS = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
'Gets the user's name from Outlook, finds just the first name & places that into
'a public variable (strCurrentUser) & puts the full name (First Last) into
'a public variable (strCurrentUserFull).
'Used in other processes
strCurrentUserFull = objNS.CurrentUser
intChar = InStr(1, strCurrentUserFull, ",")
strCurrentUser = Mid(strCurrentUserFull, intChar + 2)
strCurrentUserFull = strCurrentUser & " " & Left(strCurrentUserFull, intChar - 1)
Dim Forwarder As String
Forwarder1 = "AGI"
Forwarder2 = "BAX"
Dim TodayDate As String
Dim todayyear As String
Dim todaymonth As String
Dim todayday As String
Dim todayhour As String
todaymonth = Month(Date)
todaymonth = IIf(Len(todaymonth) = 2, todaymonth, "0" & todaymonth)
todayday = Day(Date)
todayday = IIf(Len(todayday) = 2, todayday, "0" & todayday)
todayyear = Year(Date)
'todayhour = Hour(Now())
todayhour = 10
TodayDate = todayyear & "-" & todaymonth & "-" & todayday & "-" & todayhour


Dim sPath As String, sFileNm As String
sPath = "C:\Dsr\"
sFileNm = Dir(sPath, vbNormal) 'Get the first file from the specified directory

'Start a loop
Do While sFileNm <> ""
 'If the file has a dbf extension then print the file name
  If Right(sFileNm, 3) = "xls" Then
  '     Debug.Print sFileNm
   
Forwarder1 = Left(sFileNm, 3)
'*********************************************************NEED HELP HERE OR FURTHER DOWN
If Forwarder1 = "AGI" Then
Email = "Packingslip@limitedbrands.com"
Else
Email = "rlambotte@limitedbrands.com"
End If


Set objMsg = objNS.Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMsg
.Display
'Adds main recipient
'.Recipients.Add "lambotte, ronny"
.Recipients.Add Email

'*************************************This would work for one more, do I just repeet 2nd and 3rd line below
'Add CC recipient
'Set objRecipient = .Recipients.Add("")
'objRecipient.Type = olCC

.Subject = "TEST FOR DSR - TEST FOR DSR - EMAIL"
.Body = "Attached are the tracking reports for LATE PO and..." & TodayDate
Dim Name As String
Name = "c:\dsr\" & Forwarder1 & " EDI Mismatch Per DSR  " & TodayDate & ".xls"
.Attachments.Add Name, , 80
.Send
End With
    End If
    sFileNm = Dir
Loop


Set objMsg = Nothing
MsgBox "Emails Done", _
vbInformation, "Email Sent"
End Sub

Try putting a space after the semicolon. I use semicolons to separate email address and it works.

I get a "Run Time Error, Automation Error" when I do that.
Tried this, doesn't work with the THIRD one.

If Forwarder1 = "AGI" Then
Email = "Packingslip@limitedbrands.com"
Email2 = "rlambotte@limitedbrands.com"
Eamil3 = "6142076873@cingularme.com"
Else
Email = "rlambotte@limitedbrands.com"
Email2 = ""
End If


Set objMsg = objNS.Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMsg
.Display
'Adds main recipient
'.Recipients.Add "lambotte, ronny"
.Recipients.Add Email
'Add CC recipient

If Email2 <> Null Then
Set objRecipient = .Recipients.Add(Email2)
objRecipient.Type = olCC
End If

If Email3 <> Null Then
Set objRecipient = .Recipients.Add(Email3)
objRecipient.Type = olCC
End If
Semicolons almost always work.  If it still gives you trouble, just add your recipients one at a time using
the Add method of the Recipients collection.
Here is the routine I use to send emails through Outlook. It works with any number of email address passed as variant arrays.

Public Sub SendOutlookMail( _
      ByVal ToRecipients As Variant, _
      ByVal CCRecipients As Variant, _
      ByVal BCCRecipients As Variant, _
      ByVal Subject As String, _
      ByVal Body As String, _
      Optional ByVal UseHTML As Boolean = False _
   )

' Send an email using Outlook. The email is placed in Outlook's Drafts folder. Each
' generated email has to be opened and sent manually.

   Dim OutlookApplication As Object
   Dim Mail As Object
   
   If Not IsArray(ToRecipients) Then ToRecipients = Array(ToRecipients)
   If Not IsArray(CCRecipients) Then CCRecipients = Array(CCRecipients)
   If Not IsArray(BCCRecipients) Then BCCRecipients = Array(BCCRecipients)
   
   Set OutlookApplication = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
   
   Set Mail = OutlookApplication.CreateItem(olMailItem)
   With Mail
      .To = Join(ToRecipients, "; ")
      .CC = Join(CCRecipients, "; ")
      .BCC = Join(BCCRecipients, "; ")
      .Subject = Subject
      On Error Resume Next
      .EditorType = 1 ' 2000
      .BodyFormat = 1 ' 2002, olFormatPlain
      On Error GoTo 0
      If UseHTML Then
         .HTMLBody = Body
      Else
         .Body = Body
      End If
      .Save
   End With
   
   Set Mail = Nothing
   Set OutlookApplication = Nothing

End Sub

How do I do that, matthewspatrick:

I tried this...

If Email2 <> Null Then
 Set objRecipient = .Recipients.Add(Email2)
  If Email3 <> Null Then
    .Recipients.Add (Email3)
  End If
End If
objRecipient.Type = olCC
To create a variant array on the fly:

   Dim ToAddresses As Variant
   ToAddresses = Array()
   Redim Preserve ToAddresses(LBound(ToAddresses) To UBound(ToAddresses) + 1)
   ToAddresses(UBound(ToAddresses)) = EMail
   If Email2 <> Null Then
      Redim Preserve ToAddresses(LBound(ToAddresses) To UBound(ToAddresses) + 1)
      ToAddresses(UBound(ToAddresses)) = Email2
   End If
   If Email3 <> Null Then
      Redim Preserve ToAddresses(LBound(ToAddresses) To UBound(ToAddresses) + 1)
      ToAddresses(UBound(ToAddresses)) = Email3
   End If

zorvek:
Thanks for helping, I think this might be a solution, but I am getting a Type mismatch error, and when I step through the code, After IF EMAIL2<> Null Then, it skips the IF part right after. Same with EMAIL3, it thinks it is FALSE.  I declared EMAIL, 2 and 3 and String.
  Dim ToAddresses As Variant
   ToAddresses = Array()
   Redim Preserve ToAddresses(LBound(ToAddresses) To UBound(ToAddresses) + 1)
   ToAddresses(UBound(ToAddresses)) = EMail
   If Len(Email2) > 0 Then
      Redim Preserve ToAddresses(LBound(ToAddresses) To UBound(ToAddresses) + 1)
      ToAddresses(UBound(ToAddresses)) = Email2
   End If
   If Len(Email3) > 0 Then
      Redim Preserve ToAddresses(LBound(ToAddresses) To UBound(ToAddresses) + 1)
      ToAddresses(UBound(ToAddresses)) = Email3
   End If

Kevin
The code for the email part doesn't error out any more, thanks. But the Run Time Error 13, Type mismatch is still there.
Issue 1:
  ReDim Preserve ToAddresses(
the ToAddesses goes to empty and adds the next email after that in line. Looses the previous email address.
Issue2:
Also, the code throws an error
here with the Run Time Error, Type mismatch...using the array in the recipients line...
.Recipients.Add ToAddresses
