e mailing forms from access through hotmail

[Vivian]

I am unable to email an acess form as an attachment using
my hotmail account. Is this an access or hotmail problem?
Does anyone know a way I can email an access form?
TIA
Vivian

You cannot email a form by itself. It needs to be in a database container.
It probably also needs to be connected to some data unless you want to see
just an empty form. That said, Hotmail does accept attachments that are
small so you should also zip the database file..

you could set up an outlook account that uses you Hotmail email.
there are then many soulutions for sending emails from access via outlook in
this forum

We're stabbing in the dark a bit because we don't know exactly what
you're tyring to achieve. But...

You can get a screen shot of the form by using Ctrl + Print Screen (to
the right of the F12 key), and then paste that into a Word document.
Send the word doc. as an attached file.

As a few others have touched on, the form itself doesn't mean anything
without the data, and so to send the whole form with data and
everything, you'd have to send a copy of most or all of the database -
which usually makes little sense.
