Blocked attachments

[Guest]

Hi, both at home and at work I am using Windows XP Pro and Office 2003.
When I send items from home to work, Outlook is blocking it in many cases.
I have done a number of tests, and it seems to accept word docs, and text
files. However, it blocks an access database (.mdb). I realise that
there is some default security to block .exe files etc, but I would have
thought that a .mdb file should get through. As I need to regularly work on
this in both places (putting it on a disk is not always the convenient way)
can you please suggest a fix or workaround. Sometimes I need to send it to
someone at work to view and comment, before I progress further at home, which
is why emailing it is (should be) the appropriate way. I have also been
unable to open a .pps file. Would be VERY grateful for suggestions and
advice. Thanks in advance.
