How do I attach a Chessbase file?
When I attempt to do so I am told that file extensions .cbh not allowed, and likewise .pgn not allowed.

Re: Attaching chessbase files
The main ChessBase file extension is .cbh, but it's not enough to just send that file - there are lots of subsidiary files without which the .cbh file is useless.
The file needs to be saved as a ChessBase archive (.cbv), which bundles everything into a single compressed file. That's done from the Backup Database option on the Tools menu.
