When transferring a data file via email it is necessary to
compress the file prior to sending. The following steps use the ContactMD as an example:
- Close the ContactMD
- Open Windows Explorer: quickest way is to right-click on the Start button and select Explore
- Go to the c:\DataFlow folder
- Right-click on the add_d.mdb* and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder
- A new file called add_d.zip* will appear in the same folder - often with a folder icon
- Right-click on the add_d.zip and select Send to > Mail recipient
- An email message will appear with the add_d.zip attached - simply enter the email address and send
* Depending on your computer settings, the '.zip' and '.mdb' file extensions do not appear.
