This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.



SYMPTOMS
When you attach a data access page (.htm or .html file) to an e-mail message, certain design features within the page, such as images and themes, are missing when the recipient opens the attachment.



CAUSE
Files associated with a data access page, such as image and audio files, are saved in a subfolder of the folder that contains the data access page. By default, the folder name is _Files. When you send the data access page as an attachment, the associated files are not send along with it. Therefore, the attached data access page does not include images, themes, and other audio-visual attributes.



RESOLUTION
Instead of sending the page as an attachment, send the address to the page.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
CAUTION: If you follow the steps in this example, you modify the sample database Northwind.mdb. You may want to back up the Northwind.mdb file and follow these steps on a copy of the database.


 * 1) Open the sample database Northwind.mdb or the sample Access project NorthwindCS.adp.
 * 2) In the Database window, click Pages under Objects, and then open the View Products page in Design view.
 * 3) Click the Header: Products bar, and then click Picture on the Insert menu.
 * 4) Find a file that has a .gif, .jpg, or .bmp extension on your hard disk, and then insert it into the page. Make sure to place the image so that it can be seen.
 * 5) On the Format menu, click Theme, select the Bars theme, and then click OK.
 * 6) Close the data access page, and then click Yes to save the changes.
 * 7) On the File menu, point to Send To, and then click Mail Recipient (as Attachment).
 * 8) On the To line, type your own e-mail address, and then click Send.
 * 9) Open the e-mail message, double-click the attachment, click Open it, and then click OK.

Note that the theme and the image are missing from the page.
