[AccessD] File Slice/Splice

Arthur,

I think the key issue was "getting it installed".  Some systems are so locked down that it isn't possible to get winzip installed on machines when needed.

Just out of curiosity, what is the security-paranoid distinction between code you write and code that somebody known worldwide such as the author of WinZip wrote? (I realize that you too are known world-wide, at least among Access cognoscenti, but that wasn't my point.) Frankly, from my point of view, I would sooner trust WinZip than my own efforts to do the same. After all, they're on Version 9 or so!

I'm looking for some VBA to cut a file into chunks of a size that can be

emailed and then reassemble the full size at the destination.  I've been

playing with File I/O for a few hours, opening binary, reading into a string 
or byte array and then Output to new files but it looks like I'm getting a 
few additional bytes in the reconstituted file.  Presumably I'm adding some 
delimiter to the file segments that mess up the file since it appears I'm 
adding two bytes for each chunk plus another two overall.

Does anyone have a solution?  This is for sending large graphics files in 
that security paranoid place I was formerly employed.  They have an 
attachment size limit of 5 megs and a bunch of 18 - 24 megabyte tiff files 
that need to be sent out and, as usual, the IT department will not budge.  
Winzip and it's disk spanning would be ok but there's no getting it 
installed.
