I got the mde on her desktop but can't map here to the right folder. I think IT needs to fix her permissions...but they have been a little busy as our building was hit by lightening on Sunday morning. :-( Ed Tesiny EdTesiny at oasas.ny.gov -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Doug Murphy Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2011 2:57 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Emailing an .mde The zip file works with most email systems. The only one that seemed to look inside the zip file, in my limited experience, is Gmail. For that system I just reverse the extension piz. Even Gmail seems to accept the Access files now, but maybe they have not entered accdb in their system yet. I zip all files I email just to reduce size. For large files I use USendIt. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2011 11:36 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Emailing an .mde Some email systems look inside sent zips to verify that they don't contain executables. That's why I rename the file. Typically I then zip the renamed file and plonk in a readme that tells the recipient to rename it back. A.
