Access File -Copy
If by some kinds of e-mail you have to change the file extention to something
other that .mdb as the mail will not let it go through. If by CD then they must save to a drive and change attribute from Read Only. Does this answer your question. -- Build a little, test a little. "slh" wrote: How do I send someone a complete access file? |

Compact and Repair to shrink down the database, and then put the database into a Zip folder (right mouseclick it in Windows Explorer and choose Send To... Compressed (zipped) Folder. Email the zipped file as an attachment. -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |
