I've been trying to receive an "access database" file ".mdb" from a friend
but everytime they send it, MS outlook blocks the file because it may not be
safe. How can I change this so that I can receive this file? It has been
virus scanned several times. THANKS
 
See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm for ways to get the
attachments off.

For more information on the security features, see
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm

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

Once you use one of the methods at
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm to allow access, you'll
be able to get the attachment - as an alternative, the sender could zip it
or change the file name (such as to .mdb_) so it's not blocked
