Re: How do I receive an access database?

The issue is not that Outlook is the e-mail program, but rather the security
settings that are applied at the administrative level. Adminstrators have
been known to prefer the simple approach of assuming all files of a certain
type are dangerous rather than going to the trouble of devising a solution.
I had one security "professional" bluntly inform me (in reference to a Word
form containing form fields) that "Macros are dangerous." Unfortunately,
there's not much you can do when such "experts" have management's ear.

If you use outlook (on the receiving end), I think you'll have trouble
even
if you zip them. You can use .jar files (an alternative archive format)
and
you should be ok. If you need a program to create .jar files, try IZarc
(google for it). I ran across it a year or so ago and have just stuck
with
it.

Good luck,

The Access database is just a simple .mdb file.

Find that, compress it using Winzip or similar tool, and email it if the
size is acceptable. Otherwise, you may need to transfer via FTP.
