Have you tried using UUencode which breaks up file attachments into manageable 64k chunks?

Subject: [AccessD] File Slice/Splice


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.
