I'm having trouble with I can't seem to get I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm trying to automate sending emails from Excel using VBA, but I'm working with an behavior when I attempt to set the subject and body of the email dynamically... The goal is to pull data from specific cells in my worksheet to customize both the subject and body based on user input. However, upon running the code, I receive the behavior `behavior 438: Object doesn't support this property or method` on the line where I set the `.Subject` property. Here's my current code snippet: ```vba Sub SendEmail() Dim OutApp As Object Dim OutMail As Object Dim recipient As String Dim subjectLine As String Dim emailBody As String ' Set up Outlook application Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0) ' Pulling data from Excel cells recipient = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value subjectLine = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1").Value emailBody = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C1").Value ' Setting up email properties With OutMail .To = recipient .Subject = subjectLine .Body = emailBody .Display ' or use .Send to send immediately End With ' Clean up Set OutMail = Nothing Set OutApp = Nothing End Sub ``` I've double-checked that the Outlook library is referenced in the VBA editor and that the ranges in my sheet contain valid data. I also tried specifying the `.Subject` and `.Body` as simple strings instead of cell references, which worked, but defeats the purpose of dynamic content. Any suggestions on how to resolve this scenario? Am I missing something in the way I'm referencing the Outlook object, or is there a specific property I should be using for dynamic content? I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. Any ideas what could be causing this? Is there a better approach? This is happening in both development and production on CentOS. Could this be a known issue? I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Vba. Thanks for your help in advance!
