What error do you get in return?
Contact your administrator or ISP to ask whether there is an attachment file
size limit.

Quite often, ISP's limit the size of attachments you can
send (mine limits it to 2MB.) Are you trying to send via
the internet (rather than over an intranet?) If so that
could be your problem. The solution is to find a way to
either compress the file under 2MB (Winzip it?) or to
spit the file up into smaller chunks (there are shareware
programs that will do this for you) and send them one at
a time. www.zdnet.com is a good place to look for such a
program, though don't forget your recipient at the other
end will need the program to put it back together again!

The other solution is burn it onto CD and post it via
snail mail!

I don't have an attachment limit...in fact I received this
file via email last year and now I'm trying to forward it
to another person within the company who is based in
Spain.
That's what is so puzzling, the fact that this email gave
me no problems when I received it......
 
So, what error do you get in return then?
