exe files

[dave]

How do I get Outlook to stop blocking .exe files either
coming or being sent? I use Pagis Pro Millenium as my
scanning software. When I want to sent scanned formes
they need to go with a small viewer that is a .exe file.
I can't send anymore with Outlook.

thank you in advance

sounds like your A/V software and/or an Outlook filter is
set up to just that. turn off the features or remove.

If you are using either Outlook 2002/2003, all you can do is rename the file
to something else.

There are two levels of attachment security. Access to Level 1 files is
blocked and can't be changed. When you receive an attachment with a Level 2
file type, you will be prompted to save the file to your hard disk. If you
use Microsoft Exchange Server, your system administrator can add and remove
file types for both levels of e-mail security. If a file type is added to
both levels, it will be treated as a Level 1 file type.

.
I know that is the problem. Now how do I shut off the

features? I've looked at everything I know. That's my
question. How do I get Outlook to stop blocking.

Also, other programs can block various attachments so check to see if a
personal firewall or anti-virus software is blocking things.

It's being blocked by Outlook. Outlook 2002/2003 block certain attachments.
