In theory, this code should group all rows with the same email address in the email address column into their own workbook, attach that workbook to an Outlook email, and send that email.
It generates a new workbook, but that's as far as I get before receiving a 'runtime 424 object required' error. I've played around with what needs to be an object here, etc, but no luck. Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?
