Assuming that the attached file is a .mdb file, save the attached file to a
location of your choosing. Then use Access to open the file from the location
where you saved the attachment.

Your email program will provide a way to save the attachment to a folder on
your hard disk. Many email programs place the option to Save Attachments on
the File menu.

If you still have the problem after saving the attachment, open My Computer
to the folder where you saved it. Right-click the file and choose
Properties. In the lower pane of the dialog, if you see an "Unblock" button,
click it.
