I get the message

"Outlook blocked access to the following potentially
unsafe attachments"

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002 and can't find how to
allow the attachments to be sent to me.

Would appreciate some guidance

In OE, go to Tools>Options...>Security tab. Unmark "Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened..." Just remember that you have lost this
protection; can/should always be re-enabled after opening attachment from a
trusted sender.

The OP is using OUTLOOK 2002 - NOT outlook EXPRESS - the two are
ENTIRELY different programs.

You need to specify a Registry entry to allow specific types of
file types (due to viruses):

See Knowledge base Q290497:

1. Exit Outlook 2002, if running.
2. Click the Windows Start button, and then click Run.
3. In the Open box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks), and
then click OK.
4. Check to see if the following key exists. If it does, skip to step
5.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security

If the key path does not exist, create the key path. To create the
key path, navigate to and select the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft

a. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key.
b. Type "Office" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.
c. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key.
d. Type "10.0" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.
e. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key.
f. Type "Outlook" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.
g. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key.
h. Type "Security" (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.

5. Click the Edit menu, click New, and then click String Value.
6. Type the following name for the new value:
"Level1Remove" (without the quotation marks
7. Press ENTER.
8. Right-click the new string value name, and then click Modify.
9. Type the extension of the file type that you would like to access
with Outlook 2002 as follows:
".exe" (without the quotation marks)
To specify multiple file types, use the following format:
".exe;.com" (without the quotation marks)
10. When finished, click OK.
11. Exit the Registry Editor program.
12. Restart the computer.
