Emailing Difficulties

[DarkProdigy]

I've been working on a database for the last month or so. It's been a slow process since I've been learning Access and VBA in the process.

But my supervisor wanted a copy of it as a progress check to send to his boss. So I sent an email with a copy of the database as an attachment.

THe email went through, but when my supervisor tried to open said email, a dialogue came up saying that Access couldn't open the file because it was "out of the intranet or on an insecure site" or something along those lines

I was just wondering what this meant and how I would be able to send my boss a copy of the database so that it can be reviewed and such. Would this require splitting it?

Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Ok, here's an update.

Apparantly if I change the file type to .rjf this problem can be solved. Thing is, I looked at it for about an hour and can't figure out how I would change the file type.

Any suggestions?

You need to zip up the db then email it. Your boss will have to extract the db to his hard drive before opening up your db.
