Sharing .acd files with another computer user -ACID Product Family

Subject:Sharing .acd files with another computer user Posted by: Midimike Date:1/8/2013 1:36:32 PM Having trouble sharing completed Acid Music Studio 9 .acd files with another musician who also has AMS 9. We cannot open the .acd files we e-mail back and forth for editing or enhancements. The attachment will open AMS 9 but an error occurs because the system can't recognize the path. I am running WIN 7 64bit and he has Vista 32bit. Any suggestions? We both chose the same software so we could share files and edit/change as we saw necessary. Tried rendering to WAV files but they won't e-mail because the file sizes are too big. Help and "keep on rockin in the free world".
