How can I send an email files to be viewed in Excel from the software that is written in Visual Basic 6 (VB6), so that when the receiver opens the Excel book, it will not only shows the data but copies all the codes as well?

To send an email file so that it will be viewed in Excel from the software that is written in Visual Basic 6 (VB6), so that when the receiver opens the Excel book, it will not only shows the data but copies all the codes as well, you will first need to have mail server, and in this case I am assuming you are using outlook.
The first thing you will need to do is select the outlook object from the visual basic project preferences, and the code for that process is as below:
Public sub SendMail(tSubject As String, tBody As String)
'Description: Uses the outlook object to create and send a mail using the passed parameters of tsubject,tbody and tTo
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oitems As Items
Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
Set oitems = objInbox.Items
Set oItem = oOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'With oItem
.To = tTo
.Body = tBody
.Subject = tSubject
.send
End With
Without Oulook (My preferred method)
Reference the CDO 1.21 object from your references section in the VB IDE
Private Sub SendMail(tBody As String, tSubject As String)
Dim objSession As MAPI.Session
Dim objmessage As MAPI.Message
Dim objRecipient As MAPI.Recipient
Dim objAttach As MAPI.Attachment
'Create the Session Object
Set objSession = CreateObject("mapi.session")
'Logon using the session object
'Specify a valid profile name if you want to
'Avoid the logon dialog box
'If you don't include a profilename then a dialog is popup requesting one
objSession.Logon profileName:="MS Exchange Settings"
'Add a new message object to the OutBox
Set objmessage = objSession.Outbox.Messages.Add
'Set the properties of the message object
objmessage.Subject = tSubject
objmessage.Text = tBody
'Popup the global address list to select your recipients
'Force the resoluion of the named recipients
Set objmessage.Recipients = objSession.AddressBook(, "Select Recipients", , True, , ">>")
'To add attachments
Set objAttach = objmessage.Attachments.Add
objAttach.Name = "testing" 'Pass your own name
objAttach.Source = "C:\Boot.ini" 'Pass in your own filename
objAttach.Type = CdoFileData 'This is the Default
'Send the message
objmessage.Send showDialog:=False
'Logoff using the session object
objSession.Logoff
End Sub
