Unsafe Attachments

[Guest]

I am using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Pro. Whenever I received Access (.mdb)
files a message appears in the top of the email that says:

"Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments:
<filename>.mdb."

How do I access these files? I know how to change the settings in Express
but can't find the answer for Outlook.

Having the sender rename the file is not an option.

Thank you,

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm for ways to get the
attachments off.

If you use OE, hit forward on a message or disable it in tools | options |
security.
