sending a link via email

If your database is an Access .mdb file on your computer and your drive isn't
shared on a network that the email recipient can access, you can't unless the
person can remotely access your computer.
If it is on a drive that they can access, then send them the complete path
usinig the name, not the letter designation (e.g. H:) because this can be
different on different computers on the same network and the letter
designation is just an alias.

Hi Bonni,

Security features in the last few versions of Access make it quite hard
to send links by email, and harder to receive them. I usually just send
the path to the file (or the URL) in the body of the email, e.g.

\\SERVER\SHARE\Folder\Subfolder\My database.mdb
S:\Folder\Subfolder\My database.mdb
FILE://SERVER/SHARE/Folder/Subfolder/My database.mdb
