Hi, troubles to get the template path into a function
I have a Macro that should send an email template to the already opened contact Fill in Email and name open it for editing and send it

without the new function, it worx like this:

Code:
Sub TESTplate_0() 'Makro name wichtig zum aufrufen Der Name des Makros muss der Syntax von Makronamen entsprechen, es wird dann auch so in dropdown angezeigt
                           'Betreff und eventuelle Anlagen werden in der Vorlage definiert und sind dann mit der Vorlage gespeichert
'Variablen dimm
    Dim textInFormular
    Dim VorlagenPfad
    Dim VorlageDateiname
    Dim VorlagenDatei
    Dim Nachricht
    Dim Adresse As String
    Dim Text
    Dim Format As String
    Set item = ActiveInspector.CurrentItem

    'Text der in Kontaktformular geschrieben wird in die variable eingegeben und an die Funktion addTextToBody übergeben
   
'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 addTextToBody "VERSCHICKT: TEXT " '<---------
'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    'Pfad zur Vorlage Eingeben !! ist bei uns auf allen Rechnern gleich, sonst anpassen
    VorlagenPfad = "C:\Users\Public\- Cloud\- Outlook Vorlagen\" '--> Vorlage Dateinamen Eingeben !! am besten Namen mit .oft von Vorlage aus explorer kopieren
   
'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 VorlageDateiname = "TESTplate.oft" '<---------
'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
       
    VorlagenDatei = VorlagenPfad & VorlageDateiname
    Dim objMailItem As Object
    Dim objMailOLApp As Object
    Set objMailOLApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
    Set objMailItem = objMailOLApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(VorlagenDatei)
    '---Empfänger Email aus Kontakt lesen ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    With objMailItem
        .To = item.Email1Address  'Empfänger der Mail aus Kontakt lesen
        .Categories = "Geschäftlich"
        .Importance = olImportanceNormal
        .BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
     End With
    '---Empfänger Anrede und Namen aus Konakt lesen und einfügen ----------------------------------------------------
    Adresse = ReadName()
    objMailItem.HTMLBody = Adresse + objMailItem.HTMLBody
    objMailItem.Display
End Sub

needed functions working:
Code:
Function ReadName() As String
    Dim item As Object
    Set item = ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
    If item.title = "" Then
        ReadName = "<HTML><BODY><FONT size=2 face=" & "'" & "Arial" & "'" & ">" & _
                "Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren" & "," & "</FONT></BODY></HTML>"
    ElseIf InStr(1, item.title, "Herr") > 0 Then
        ReadName = "<HTML><BODY><FONT size=2 face=" & "'" & "Arial" & "'" & ">" & _
                "Sehr geehrter" + " " + item.title + " " + item.lastName + "," & "</FONT></BODY></HTML>"
    ElseIf InStr(1, item.title, "Frau") > 0 Then
        ReadName = "<HTML><BODY><FONT size=2 face=" & "'" & "Arial" & "'" & ">" & _
                "Sehr geehrte" + " " + item.title + " " + item.lastName + "," & "</FONT></BODY></HTML>"
    Else
        ReadName = "<HTML><BODY><FONT size=2 face=" & "'" & "Arial" & "'" & ">" & _
                "Sehr geehrte(r)" + " " + item.title + " " + item.lastName + "," & "</FONT></BODY></HTML>"
    End If
End Function
Function addTextToBody(textInFormular As String)
    Dim objItem As Object
    Set objItem = Outlook.Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
    Dim objWordDoc As Word.Document
    Set objWordDoc = objItem.GetInspector.WordEditor
    Dim objWordApp As Word.Application
    Set objWordApp = objWordDoc.Application
    objWordApp.Selection.EndKey wdStory, wdMove
    objWordApp.Selection.TypeText Text:=vbCrLf
    objWordApp.Selection.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 255)
    objWordApp.Selection.TypeText Text:=Format(Now(), "dd.mm.yyyy - hh:mm") & ": "
    objWordApp.Selection.TypeText Text:=textInFormular
    objWordApp.Selection.TypeParagraph
    objWordApp.Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
    objWordApp.Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
    objWordApp.Selection.Font.Reset
End Function
so far so gud

now I want to replace as much as possible in an additional function that the macro is as small as possible, and I can copy it and use it to send other template emails.

Here is the edited macro with the added function that does not work:
Code:
Sub TESTplate_1()
    'Variablen dimm
    Dim textInFormular
    Dim VorlagenPfad As String
    Dim VorlageDateiname As String
    Dim Nachricht
    Dim Adresse As String
    Dim Text
    Dim Format As String
    Set item = ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
   
    'Text der in Kontaktformular geschrieben wird in die variable eingegeben und an die Funktion addTextToBody übergeben
    addTextToBody "VERSCHICKT: TEXT " '<---------
   
    'Pfad zur Vorlage Eingeben !! ist bei uns auf allen Rechnern gleich, sonst anpassen
    VorlagenPfad = "C:\Users\Public\Cloud\Outlook Vorlagen"
    'Vorlage Dateinamen Eingeben !! am besten Namen mit .oft von Vorlage aus explorer kopieren
    VorlageDateiname = "TESTplate.oft"
   
    Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
VorlagenDatei = fso.BuildPath(VorlagenPfad, VorlageDateiname)
   
   
    Dim objMailItem As Object
    Set objMailItem = CreateEmailFromTemplate(VorlagenPfad, VorlageDateiname)
   
    'Empfänger Anrede und Namen aus Konakt lesen und einfügen
    Adresse = ReadName()
    objMailItem.HTMLBody = Adresse + objMailItem.HTMLBody
    objMailItem.Display
End Sub

Function CreateEmailFromTemplate(VorlagenPfad As String, VorlageDateiname As String) As Object
    Dim objMailItem As Object
    Dim objMailOLApp As Object
    Dim VorlagenDatei As String

    VorlagenDatei = VorlagenPfad & "\" & VorlageDateiname
    'Debug.Print VorlagenDatei
    MsgBox VorlagenDatei
    Set objMailOLApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
    Set objMailItem = objMailOLApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(VorlagenDatei)
    With objMailItem
        .To = item.Email1Address
        .Categories = "Geschäftlich"
        .Importance = olImportanceNormal
        .BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
    End With
    Set CreateEmailFromTemplate = objMailItem
End Function

when I call the macro, I get:
the path is correct

BUT THAN
1674351841977.png

1674351873207.png


The template must be accessible because it worx with the first macro above.
Hope everything is clear?!
PLS. Help to get this working.
Many THX

Runtime error '-2147287037 (80030003)':
The file 'C:\Users\Public Cloud\Outlook Templates\TESTplate.oft' cannot be opened. The file may already be open, or you do not have permission to open the file.
<<

The error indicates the template is found but cannot be opened. If you copy the path and try opening t from exploter, what happens?

What is in the template? If it has certain controls, it need to be in the default templates location.
 
THX for taking care

It is solved in this macro:
