Alternatively you can ask each site to create an updated folder containing the updated rec.file then zip the folder before emailing it. Hope this will help too.

Dear epidata-list members,
I'm a new member and I'm quite new also in the use of Epidata. I need some support.
My team is coordinating a multicentre study. At the beginning of the study we prepared a database (files .qes, .chk and .rec) and sent it to all centres; during the study they send back to us regularly the updated .rec files with the records. We have problems in receiving via e-mail, as attached documents, epidata files (especially files .rec with records, but also without records). We sometimes are not able to open the files, or sometimes we manage to open the files but the records are not there. We realised it depends also on the e-mail server used by every centre, and on other variables too.
I wonder which would be the best way to share epidata databases.
Many thanks
Alessandro

You can solve the problem when you zip the rec-files before you send them as a email-attachment.
