Help on sending an email attachment to MORPH Support

The following guide will walk you through the steps to create a file that can be attached to an email and sent to Morph Support.

If you attempt to send a file that has a restricted file extension then the files will go into quarantine - this is determined by the security procedures on our email server. When attempting to send files that have a restricted file extension for example .dll .exe or .mdb it will appear that the email has successfully been sent, however we are not able to view the attached files.

The way to get around this is to zip up the file in a password protected archive TWICE. You will need to use a tool like Winzip or WinRar.

1) First locate the file that you would like to send to the MORPH helpdesk, in this example we are sending the MORPH database 'MORPH32.mdb'. (Note that in some Operating Systems the same file may be displayed in a similar window to the one below, but without the file extension .mdb).

2) The screenshot below indicates the file that we have selected for this example - MORPH32.mdb. Right-click on the file and then find the entry for your archiving tool, in this example we are using WinZip. Select the "Add to Zip" option.
