Hi I have Access 2002 and I'm trying to send part of my
database as an email attachment, when I go to File - send
as mail receipient and when I choose whichever file to
save as it comes up saying it cannot save as this type (on
another machine it will save as any of them).
Its like its not seeing Outlook as my mail Client but it
is set as default.

How do I get around this?

Thanks in advance.
 
You cannot send "part of your database" without first
exporting it somewhere. You have two choices here.

1) export to a new, blank database. This way you keep all
of the structure intact with the data. If you need the
queries/forms/reports, then you can copy them from one db
to the other.

Or

2) export to a spreadsheet or word document. You might
lose the structure but the data should be correct.

In either case, if there is a lot of data to be sent, you
might want to consider zipping it before sending.
