    Copy a formatted table from excel sheet to outlook meeting request.

    Hi All,

    I have the below macro code which automatically sends the meeting requests from excel using outlook it works fine but I need to put some data as well on the meeting requests body when I am sending the meeting requests. my code copies the data as well on my meeting requests body but if my worksheet has a datatable with formatting then it just pastes the data with out any formatting. I am using dataobject method to copy the data to meeting body from excel sheet. I am using outlook 2003 so I can't use HTML method as Outlook 2003 doesn't support HTML for meeting requests. Below is my code :

    Sub Sendmeetingrequests ()
    ' adds a list of appontments to the Calendar in Outlook
        Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
        Dim olAppItem As Outlook.appointmentItem
        Dim r As Long
        Dim myPath As String
    
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        myPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
    
        DeleteTestAppointments    ' deletes previous test appointments
        On Error Resume Next
        Set olApp = GetObject("", "Outlook.Application")
        On Error GoTo 0
        If olApp Is Nothing Then
            On Error Resume Next
            Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
            On Error GoTo 0
            If olApp Is Nothing Then
                MsgBox "Outlook is not available!"
                Exit Sub
            End If
        End If
    
        r = 10    ' first row with appointment data in the active worksheet
        While Len(Cells(r, 1).Formula) > 0
            Set olAppItem = olApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)    ' creates a new appointment
    
            With olAppItem
                ' set default appointment values
                .Start = Now
                .End = Now
                .Subject = "No subject"
                .Location = ""
                .Body = ""
                .ReminderSet = True
                .MeetingStatus = olMeeting
    
                ' read appointment values from the worksheet
                On Error Resume Next
                .Start = Cells(r, 1).Value + Cells(r, 2).Value
                .End = Cells(r, 1).Value + Cells(r, 3).Value
                .Subject = Cells(r, 4).Value
                .Location = Cells(r, 5).Value
                .ReminderSet = Cells(r, 8).Value
                .Importance = Right(Cells(r, 9).Value, 1)
                .RequiredAttendees = Cells(r, 10).Value
                .Categories = "TestAppointment"    ' add this to be able to delete the testappointments
                On Error GoTo 0
                .Save    ' saves the new appointment to the default folder
            End With
    
            With olApp
                Dim Xl As Excel.Application
                Dim Ws As Excel.Worksheet
                Dim xlRn As Excel.Range
    
                Set Xl = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
                Set Ws = Xl.Workbooks.Parent.Worksheets(Cells(r, 1).Offset(0, 5).Value)
                Set xlRn = Ws.Range("MailBodyText")
    
    
                Dim varBody As String
                Dim objdata As DataObject
                Dim DataObject As Object
                Set objdata = New DataObject
    
                Application.GoTo Reference:=xlRn
                Selection.Copy
                objdata.GetFromClipboard
                varBody = objdata.GetText
    
                With olAppItem
                    .Body = varBody '& vbCrLf & vbCrLf
                End With
            End With
    
            olAppItem.Close olSave
            r = r + 1
            Sheets("scheduleapp").Activate
        Wend
        Set olAppItem = Nothing
        Set olApp = Nothing
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub
    I have attached my macro file as well. Please have a look.

    Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
