I have an office in another state that utilizes an access database. When I
want to view their database, I have them email it to me, however, now it's
getting large. Any suggestions on how to get the data to me, even just the
backend... too large would be 11,000 kb. Generally when the other office
emails me it goes thru AOL and it zips the file (up until this week it has
worked successfully). I have looked at WinZip and IZarc, but I don't know if
either will be the solution or if I need to be doing this a whole other way...

I welcome any help. Thanks, Maura

Hi,
there are several way to get file, you can for example setup an FTP site and
ask other office to upload zipped file there

Thanks for responding. Now the dumb question: What is an FTP site and how do
I set one up?

Hi,
sorry for late reply
You can setup a new account at free or commercial hosting. Look at google or
ask your internet provider
