Can't open file in Access

[SB Mull]

Rec'd file by e-mail and saved to C drive. When I try to open in Access get
message that the file is on an external source and I must copy it to my
machine - but I already did.

From a post by Rick Brandt just recently:

If he has Serveice Pack 2 for Windows XP installed it "Blocks" all
executable files that come from other systems whether that be Email or being
dragged from the network. You have to right-click on the file, view the
properties, and press the [Unblock] button in the lower right. Then the
file will work.

Thank you so much!
