An Access Database (.mdb or .mde file) is a complex object, a
container for multiple forms, reports, modules, queries, tables, and
other objects. It's not a "document" or a text file.
You can use WinZIP to compact the database, and send the .zip file as
a binary attachment to your EMail (Outlook will object to sending a
.mdb file as it can potentially contain damaging code).
