I have the following code to save a form as a PDF and email it. Part of the code includes removing the conditional format highlighting (the sheet cannot be saved so highlighting needs to remain as fields to fill in), however sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Mostly error 400. This is not dependant on whether it has just been opened or not. The rest of the code works perfectly, any help appreciated.
Oh, another thing, a colleague has a different version oof outlook and this doesn't work for her, any thoughts? Thanks again.
