Paste Excel range to Outlook email body

Question

I want to copy data from a fixed range in an Excel sheet and paste on an email body.

Below is the code I have come up with. However I am not able to paste the specified range A11:H12.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler

' SET Outlook APPLICATION OBJECT.
Dim objOutlook As Object
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

' CREATE EMAIL OBJECT.
Dim objEmail As Object
Set objEmail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With objEmail
    .To = "email"
    .Subject = "test"
    .Body = ActiveSheet.Range("A11:H12").Select
    .Display        ' DISPLAY MESSAGE.
End With

' CLEAR.
Set objEmail = Nothing:    Set objOutlook = Nothing

ErrHandler:
    '
End Sub

Answer 1

As in the comments Ron has this figured. The below code and function does the trick. Copy them both.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

' SET Outlook APPLICATION OBJECT.
Dim rng As Range
Dim objOutlook As Object
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A11:H12").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0

' CREATE EMAIL OBJECT.
Dim objEmail As Object
Set objEmail = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With objEmail
.To = "email"
.Subject = "test"
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
.Display        ' DISPLAY MESSAGE.
End With

' CLEAR.
Set objEmail = Nothing:
Set objOutlook = Nothing

End Sub

Code:

    Sub sendEmail()
    'call outlook
    Dim MyOlapp As Object, MyItem As Object
    Set MyOlapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set MyItem = MyOlapp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
        'ajust range of sheet
        Range("A11:H12").Select
        Selection.Copy

    With MyItem
        'ajust number of sheet
        .To = Sheet17.[b1].Value 'e-mail adress
        .Subject = Sheet17.[b2].Value 'subject of e-mail
        .Body = Sheet17.[b3].Value 'body of e-mail
        .Display
        SendKeys ("^{DOWN}")
        SendKeys ("^{DOWN}")
        SendKeys ("%m")
        SendKeys ("v")
        SendKeys ("s")
        SendKeys ("{UP}")
        SendKeys ("{UP}")
        SendKeys ("{ENTER}")
        SendKeys ("{ENTER}")
        SendKeys ("%m")
        SendKeys ("q")
        SendKeys ("{ENTER}")


    End With
    End Sub
