Nice article.. How would I modify to only pull out a single table "machine parts"; table may span multiple tabs?

Brilliant article which has saved loads of time. I'm very new to VBA and found this extremely useful.
Is it possible to amend and identify when the first row of each file do not match? i.e. someone has inserted / or moved / deleted a column?
maybe just bring back the first row of each worksheet and put onto another summary sheet and identify if not exact match ?
Thanks very much.

Excellent article.
I tried to implement your sugestion:
If you wanted to keep the header row from the first sheet then use
If ws2.Index > 1 Then ws1.Cells(rng1.Row + 1 + lrowSpace, "A").EntireRow.Delete
It didn't work for me. Is there any other solution?
Thank you very much.
Regards
Celio
