E-mail an entire database?
I have a database with two tables and two forms that is an ongoing project
with a colleague. I would like to be able to e-mail it back and forth, but her e-mail account rejects the attachment and I tried sending it to myself--the same thing happens. Is there no way for both of us to see exactly the same things in different places/different buildings? Please help!!! Thanks.

A solution that I've seen in various sites is to simply rename the file with
an extention that is allowed. On the receiving end simply rename it back to . mdb. An alternative, if allowed by your company's email, would be to zip the file. -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

Note, too, that MDB files tend to benefit immensely from compressing
(zipping). Give the .mdb file a different extension, compress it into a .zip file and e-mail the .zip file. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Why is what? Why do .mdb file zip nicely? Just how the database is
structured in the file, I guess. Note that if you encrypt the file, you won't get any benefit from zipping. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

I've encountered one or two places that either won't accept a zip file or won't accept a zip file containing an exe. And of course, because they assume it's a virus they don't bother telling you your email has not been sent to the recipient.

You can always rename the .zip file too.

Doug, you didn't say that "mdb file zip nicely" you said "MDB files tend to
benefit immensely from compressing." I wondered how/why they *benefit immensly* form zipping. Just curious! Douglas J.

Presumably there are a lot of partially empty data pages which should have binary 00s written in them. Especially if you have memo fields as each records memo is placed in their own page. For a data MDB zips can compress at about a four or five to one ratio.
