1















I have to compose a mail body that contains text from multiple sources .



However the line editor.Application.Selection.Paste gives an error "4505" application locked while editing



I paste multiple times from 3 sources to create many mails



Dim Outapp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim wd, cmmtrs, ftnt As Object
Dim editor As Object
Dim savePath As String
Dim filePath As String

Dim lastRow As Integer: lastRow = Sheet2.Range("D20000").End(xlUp).Row
filePath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path
savePath = filePath & "" & Format(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd")
Set wd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set cmmtrs = wd.Documents.Open(savePath & "ABC.docx", ReadOnly:=True)

'create multiple emails
For i = 2 To lastRow
Set Outapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = Outapp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set vInspector = OutMail.GetInspector
Set editor = vInspector.WordEditor


With OutMail
.To = Sheet2.Range("B" & i).Value
.CC = Sheet2.Range("C" & i).Value
.Subject = Sheet2.Range("D" & i).Value
.Body = Sheet2.Range("E" & i).Value & vbCrLf & vbNewLine
Dim lst As Integer: lst = Sheet3.Cells(1000, Sheet3.Range("A3:XAA3").Find(i - 1).Column).End(xlUp).Row
Dim col1, col2 As Integer: col1 = Sheet3.Range("A3:XAA3").Find(i - 1).Column
.Display
End With

With OutMail
If Sheet3.Range("A3:XAA3").Find(i) Is Nothing Then
col2 = Sheet3.Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=Sheet3.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Column
Else
col2 = Sheet3.Range("A3:XAA3").Find(i).Column - 1
End If
Sheet3.Range(Sheet3.Cells(4, col1), Sheet3.Cells(lst + 1, col2)).Copy
editor.Application.Selection.Start = Len(.Body)
editor.Application.Selection.End = editor.Application.Selection.Start
Application.Wait (Now + 0.0001)

editor.Application.Selection.Paste
End With

If Sheet2.Range("G" & i) = "Yes" Then
cmmtrs.Content.Copy
With OutMail
editor.Application.Selection.Start = Len(.Body)
editor.Application.Selection.End = editor.Application.Selection.Start
Application.Wait (Now + 0.00005)
editor.Application.Selection.Paste
