error receiving Access db attachment

[Guest]

I am using Outlook Express v6. I've been emailed an access db attachment.
Error message reads; OE removed access to the following unsage attachments in
your mail:filename.mdb This database is small and is Microsoft Access 97.
Any Ideas?

Hi -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:
http://www.insideoe.com/


That said, try clicking forward on this message & getting the attachment
from there, rather than unchecking the security option that did this in the
first place.

Hi
When emailing "potentialy unsafe" attachments, you can alter the filename
before attaching the file to "file.mdb.CHANGE" then when it gets to the other
end user just saves-as, removing "CHANGE" from the file name. If you are in a
position to get the sender to try this it should work. Just a work-around of
course...
