vba - How to add default signature in Outlook

Question

I am writing a VBA script in Access that creates and auto-populates a few dozen emails. It's been smooth coding so far, but I'm new to Outlook. After creating the mailitem object, how do I add the default signature to the email?

1. This would be the default signature that is automatically added when creating a new email.

2. Ideally, I'd like to just use ObjMail.GetDefaultSignature, but I can't find anything like it.

3. Currently, I'm using the function below (found elsewhere on the internet) and referencing the exact path & filename of the htm file. But this will be used by several people and they may have a different name for their default htm signature file. So this works, but it's not ideal:

   Function GetBoiler(ByVal sFile As String) As String
   'Dick Kusleika
   Dim fso As Object
   Dim ts As Object
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set ts = fso.GetFile(sFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
   GetBoiler = ts.readall
   ts.Close
   End Function
   

   (Called with getboiler(SigString = "C:Users" & Environ("username") & "AppDataRoamingMicrosoftSignaturesMysig.txt"))

Edit

Thanks to JP (see comments), I realize that the default signature is showing up at first, but it disappears when I use HTMLBody to add a table to the email. So I guess my question is now: How do I display the default signature and still display an html table?

Sub X()
    Dim OlApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim ObjMail As Outlook.MailItem

    Set OlApp = Outlook.Application
    Set ObjMail = OlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

    ObjMail.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
    ObjMail.Subject = "Subject goes here"
    ObjMail.Recipients.Add "Email goes here"

    ObjMail.HTMLBody = ObjMail.Body & "HTML Table goes here"
    ObjMail.Display

End Sub

Answer 1

The code below will create an outlook message & keep the auto signature

Dim OApp As Object, OMail As Object, signature As String

Set OApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OMail = OApp.CreateItem(0)

With OMail
    .Display
End With

signature = OMail.body

With OMail
    '.To = "[email protected]"
    '.Subject = "Type your email subject here"
    '.Attachments.Add
    .body = "Add body text here" & vbNewLine & signature
    '.Send
End With

Set OMail = Nothing
Set OApp = Nothing
