How do I e-mail a copy of my Access database?

[Guest]

I need to attach a copy of an Access database I have been working on for a
class project. I have had difficulties in attaching the database file to an
e-mail document, as well as getting my back-up copy of the database to work
on my home computer. What is the best way of getting a copy to my home
computer? What is the best way to attach a copy of the database for my
report? Please help!

zip the database (SendTo a zipped folder or use PkZip).
Then e-mail the zip file.

Some email programs will not allow you to email an Access database, as
it's could contain harmful code. To get around this, rename the file
extension to something like .txt with instructions to rename it back
to .mdb upon delivery.

Some of the newer filters even look into zip files. I know my work
does.

Although you may want to zip it up for the compression, and then
rename the zip file if you're still having trouble.

Yes, but AFAIK none of them are stupid enough to /block/ mdb files.
Only MS is that foolish, and the MS filter doesn't look inside zips.
