Accessing Unsafe Attachments

R

I am running Windows XP & using Outlook 2003 for email. When I receive an
Access file (.mdb), I get a message that says "Outlook blocked access to the
following potentially unsafe attachments: <filename.mdb>.

I know how to turn this on & off in Express but can't find it for Outlook.

Having the sender rename the file is not an option.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

According to the MS Outlook help file, the only other two options are:
1. Use a program, such as WinZip, to package files before you attach them to
your e-mail message. In your message, you can include instructions explaining
how to extract the files from the package to make it easy for recipients to
access the files.
2. Post the files to a secure network share. In your message, you can
include a link to the share that you have given the recipients access to.
