Originally posted by robbie carrobieHey, Robbie, I'm assuming you mean Chessbase Light 2007? If it's the free evaluation version, that one is read only, and I don't think you can do it. If it's the premium version that you bought, then it should be easy to save it as a PGN file. PGN files are just text documents, so they should be easy to attach to e-mails.

Originally posted by Mad RookHi dude, thanks for taking the time, i have this chessbase program, The Giuoco Piano, by Ripperger which has some annotated game in it. one of the games features a line presently being played by the illustrious Scotland club vs the puny R.H.P International (consultation match), i just wondered if it was possible to send the line, you know that appears in the little annotation section beside the main chess board in chessbase light. i am sure that i figured a way before but it is all but lost, and like you say, i have a sneaking suspicion it may only be for premium users.

Originally posted by zebanohi, when i highlight the game i get this dialogue box saying MAPI error, any ideas, i will try the other methods that you suggest in the meantime - regards Robbie.
IIRC you have two options.
1. find the game you want to send, highlight and press ctrl + c to copy it, paste it into your email (already in pgn format)
2. CBL organizes things into databases. These may be pgn files but can be other formats (which I don't recall off the top of my head). When you open the program the top right pane lists all your database ...[text shortened]... exact location of the file. Using windows explorer, find the file and attach it to your email.
