  • Hi, this is a very helpfull code. Thank you.

    Would it be possible to write a code that looks to several worksheets that have different ranges. Example I have 3 worksheets A, B and C. In A the range is a1:c19, In B the range is a1:c11 and in C the range is a1:c5.

  • CODE IS WORKING FINE BUT THERE ARE THE FOLLOWING TWO PROBLEM OBSERVED.
    1). BOTTOM BORDER IS MISSING IN EXCEL DATA RANGE IN OUTLOOK.
    2). HEADER COLOUR IS ALSO CHANGING AUTOMATICALLY.

    PLEASE HELP FOR THIS.
