Is it possible to send a access database as as e-mail attachment? If so how
can you do it or are there any other options? Thank You
 
Yes, it is possible.

HOWEVER, you will probably need to ZIP the database first. Many email
programs will block Access databases based on the file extension. Also many
will block an attachment based on the size of the attachment.

You should ask this question in a newsgroup that supports your email application.

Often, to ZIP a file all you need to do is to right-click on the file name and
select a ZIP option to create a copy of the file.

Once you have a zipped file, you can attach that to your email. In Outlook
2003 you can open a new message and drag the zip file to the message pane for
the file to be automatically attached. OR you can find the menu item to attach
a file.
