I am trying to add an image from an Excel sheet to an Outlook email.
I tried using a link to an image stored in a network location and on the Internet. However, not all users will have access to these locations.
Is it possible to store the image in another worksheet and then copy it into the email body?
I know the below won't work because you can't export shapes but can I do something like this?
ActiveUser = Environ$("UserName")
TempFilePath = "C:\Users\" & ActiveUser & "\Desktop\"
Sheets("Images").Shapes("PanelComparison").Export TempFilePath & "\PanelComparison.png"
panelimage = "<img src = ""TempFilePath\PanelComparison.png"" width=1000 height=720 border=0>"

The CreateEmail Sub calls the SaveToImage Sub. The SaveToImage sub grabs a range, creates a chart on a new page and then saves the picture(objChart) to a specified directory.
The LMpic string variable calls the image just saved and inputs it into the HTML body.
Public Sub CreateEmail()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim cell As Range
Dim FN, LN, EmBody, EmBody1, EmBody2, EmBody3 As String
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Call SaveToImage
ws.Activate
LMpic = wb.Path & "\ClarityEmailPic.jpg'"
On Error GoTo cleanup
For Each cell In Columns("D").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If cell.Value Like "?*@?*.?*" Then
FN = Cells(cell.Row, "B").Value
LN = Cells(cell.Row, "A").Value
EmBody = Range("Email_Body").Value
EmBody1 = Range("Email_Body1").Value
EmBody2 = Range("Email_Body2").Value
'EmBody3 = Range("Email_Body3").Value
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = cell.Value
.Subject = "Volt Clarity Reminder "
.Importance = olImportanceHigh
.HTMLBody = "<html><br><br><br>" & _
"<table border width=300 align=center>" & _
"<tr bgcolor=#FFFFFF>" & _
"<td align=right>" & _
"<img src='" & objRange & "'>" & _
"</td>" & _
"</tr>" & _
"<tr border=0.5 height=7 bgcolor=#102561><td colspan=2></td></tr>" & _
"<tr>" & _
"<td colspan=2 bgcolor=#E6E6E6>" & _
"<body style=font-family:Arial style=backgroung-color:#FFFFFF align=center>" & _
"<p> Dear " & FN & " " & LN & "," & "</p>" & _
"<p>" & EmBody & "</p>" & _
"<p>" & EmBody2 & "<i><font color=red>" & EmBody1 & "</i></font>" & "</p>" & _
"</body></td></tr></table></html>"
.Display 'Or use Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
End If
Next cell
cleanup:
Set OutApp = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Public Sub SaveToImage()

Dim DataObj As Shape

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

In general email images are stored on a web server, with the SRC pointing to that server (http://...
). They're not embedded in the email itself.
