    Maximum size for attachments

    I want to include a .accdb and .pdf file to a post about a problem.
    I tried, repeatedly to attach the files and kept getting upload size errors even after compressing the db and .pdf file.
    When zipped they are still just under 2mb.

    What are the size limitations of the different file types or are they all 500kb?

    I tried a search for "maximum attachment size" before posting this new thread.

    Zip each file. Compact the accdb first as well.

    This is the case even after you compacted the db? One reason for that could be embedded images in things like buttons or worse, attachment fields? They won't compact or zip very much.
