I've received an email with a MS Access .MDB file as an atachment (from a known sender I should say)
I'm using Outlook 2003.
When I open the email it tells me that the attached file is blocked because it is "potentially harmful"
In other words Outlook 2003 has decided that all .mdb files shall be blocked regardless - well thats nice isn't it.

I know this file is OK - (given that I partly created it on someone else's computer!)
and anyway I was going to specifically virus check it prior to using it
How can I tell Outlook 2003 to release the file please - I suspect its going to be a registry fix isn't it.......
