RDBMail Add-in for Excel/Outlook 2007-2010

Note: I changed the name of this new add-in for Excel/Outlook 2007-2010 to RDBMail.
The older add-ins are all named SendMail.

Briefly! RDBMail puts emailing of Excel sheets, data, and workbooks where you want it and
when you want it (as Workbook or PDF). It also allows significant customizing of what you send.
As soon as you have the workbook open in Excel you have the ability to send all or part
of it either in working format or with just the values that are shown by current data and formulas.
Once RDBMail has been installed, this is all accessed by clicking on one of the options on the
RDBMail tab on the Ribbon.

On the RDBMail tab on the Ribbon you can find the following mail options :



Also new in this add-in is that there are two options to Insert a worksheet template to your workbook.
Click on the Information button for more information about this two Worksheet templates.



Important : When you open the Add-in the first time I suggest you click on the Help button first
to read all the information. This is the first button in the Manual group on the RDBMail tab.
