i want the following text to be bold:

Code:
" 2. Go to --Required Access-- Column."

Just the "required access" part.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Use HTMLBody instead of body along with the appropriate HTML code to apply the formatting you want.

Thanks for your prompt reply Norie. i've tried using HTMLBody but it didn't seem to work. Could you possibly show me an example?

What exactly did you try?

Did you convert this part of the code to use HTML code rather than just plain text?
Code:
  sMsgBody = "Dear Sir/Madam," & vbCr & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "We have received the attached list of users of your branch from IT Support & Services who are having T-24 access mode PR.GB.INP which includes both GB and Teller Input role." & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "The policy of the Bank prohibits the access of Teller & GB roles simultaneously in the system. As such, these dual roles of the mentioned officials are needed to be changed to either GB Input or to Teller Input (single role) in order to comply with the policy." & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "Against this backdrop, you are requested to ensure us which role they actually require for smooth operation of the Branch through a reply email with the attached list by the close of business April 4, 2016 to the following email address ar032901@primebank.com.bd" & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & " Instructions:" & vbCr & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "      1. Open the attached excel file." & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "      2. Go to --Required Access-- Column." & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "      3. Click the cell to select required access from drop down menu." & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "      4. Save the excel file." & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "      5. Email the file to ar032901@primebank.com.bd" & vbCr & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "Thanking You." & vbCr & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "Best regards," & vbCr & vbCr
                        sMsgBody = sMsgBody & "Mohammad Shawkat Ali" & vbCr & vbCr

Sorry it's really hard to post HTML code here as the board will actually render/interpret it.

You need to replace the text in sMsgBody with HTML code and you need to replace .Body with .HTMLBody.

John has suggested a good way to get the required HTML code, in fact that's usually the sort of thing I use.

A couple of hints:

<br> will replace vbCrLf

To bold use these tags.

<b>text to bold </b>
