I have an Excel Macro that is run and generates a docket to stick on student laptops that are handed in for repair, the document also emails the help desk that creates a job in the system with the same details (or part of the details anyway).
The laptop that is used was upgraded to Windows 8.1 and upgraded from Outlook 2010 to Outlook 2013. The script used to work on the old system however since upgrading to the new system the subject no longer populates, even though the variable 'subject' when the mouse is hovered over it, shows the text that should be entered.
Script below:

Everything else appears to be working....I am lost for thoughts, and I have scoured the web for script to try....still nothing.
Any help appreciated
Further note:
I did notice that if the
Set subject = Sheets("Sheet4").Range("B2").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
is used, it doesn't copy the text in Sheet4,B2 however if you remove the .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) then it copies the value into the variable...The former worked in the previous version of Excel.
Never the less both the above now do not copy the value into the subject field of the email.
If I change the 'subject' variable to a double quoted string, it inserts the string into the subject field, so for some reason, it doesn't like the variable, or is my syntax incorrect somehow?
