Mailing data and database objects best practices:
Data can be attached to mail  in several different file formats including Excel, rtf, csv, text, HTML.
Data can also be included in the body of the mail.
You would need access to MAPI or SMTP to send mails
When sending a data access page, share the database so that users can interact with the page.
Create the data access page using UNC paths so that they are not mapped to local drives
Store the database and the page on the same server.
Publish from a trusted intranet security zone
Send a pointer instead of a copy of the HTML source code
For intranet users, UNC and domains alleviate security considerations while the same can be used to demand permissions for external users.
Always send the page to yourself and view the code before mailing others.
