Mail Add-ins for Excel for Windows

Important message to visitors of this page

Ron de Bruin decided to remove all Windows Excel content from his website for personal reasons. If you want to know why, head over to rondebruin.nl.

Luckily, Ron was kind enough to allow me to publish all of his Excel content here.

Most of these pages are slightly outdated and may contain links that don 't work. Please inform me if you find such an error and I'll try to fix it.

Kind regards

RDBMail Add-in for Excel/Outlook 2007-2016

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.
