Database email problem

[Guest]

Hi all
I have been emailing updates on a database I created. They send me the
database, I update it and send it back. These have always worked perfectly. I
was just informed the last update I emailed opens in an error message and
basically goes crazy. I then emailed the previous update (which is currently
working on their system) and now it opens in error. Any ideas what might be
wrong??
They have Windows 2000/Access 2000/Outlook. I have Windows XP/Access
2002/Outlook.

A little more info:
When they click on the menu, the form opens with (Compile Error) "Ambiguous
Name Dectected" and then relates that to a control.
Thanks

It's possible that the file is getting corrupted during the email. The larger
the attachment, the more potential trouble emailling. Suggestions:

Compact and repair the database file to reduce it's size.
Further reduce the attachment size by compressing it first with something
like PKZip or WinZip.
Instead of using email, ftp the file instead.

I will give that a try.
