*Please Help* E-mail Excel From Access

[graviz]

I'm trying to figure out how to paste a selection of cells into the body of the e-mail and can't figure out how to do it in Access. Below is the code I use to do it from Excel and it works perfectly however I can't get it to work in Access vba. I've tried working with different code posted but have had no luck. Here is the specific info:

The Excel sheet is located: "C:\autoreports\cancel_template.xls"
The sheet name is "Report Status"
The Range I would like to copy and insert in the e-mail is "A17"

Can someone assist me with modifying my code so I could do this? Let me know if you need more specifics. Thanks!!

The short answer is to do it with a recordset.

How would you do a recordset with this? I thought you only use a recordset when you are referencing access data.

Here was my attempt at putting it into access:

It sends the e-mail but doesn't include the cell picture.

How would you do a recordset with this? I thought you only use a recordset when you are referencing access data.

Whe you get to body of the email you paste in a string var that you built by looping through the records.

It's already in there.

".HTMLBody = StrBody & RangetoHTML(rng)"

If I'm missing something can you show me in the actual code please?
