If he just needs to view it, send him the pcb only (right-click, export).
Or send him a set of gerbers.
Of course this would be a work-around. You SHOULD be able to just copy the ddb over
to him. The error you see seems a little unnerving.
Are there any links to external files on your computer (like a company logo or a
graphic perhaps), in the ddb?

it isn't broke on my system... ivan just can't open it on his
machine. like i said, since i can't send him an actual powsup.pcb,
i sent him the whole darned ddb. maybe thats not the way to move
a job from one pc to another, but thats the method i tried, anyway.
bottom line: the ddb works fine on my machine. i email it to
him and get the access violation error. maybe all the information
was not contained in the ddb.
thanks, miker
