I receive large slide show presentations on my e-mail all the time with music
attatched. The last one was 1,928kb. Why am I not able to SEND a power
point presentation I created. I can't even send one that's 37Mb! I compress
and zip but it still won't go. What am I doing wrong?

Contact your ISP and ask them what size limit they have on email.

1,928KB is about 2MB, so your 37MB file is about 19 times as large as your
1,928KB file. 37MB is a pretty large file to send via email. Most email
systems will not permit attachments of files that large. You might want to
check with your email system to find out what the limit is. You might want to
check out PFC Express (at http://www.pfcmedia.com/). It is an add-in that
makes it easy to email large PowerPoint files. I believe that they have a
free 30-day trial.
