Re: How do I receive an access database?

From my understanding, Outlook blocks certain types of files (type 1) from
being received. There is no control over those files (no settings within the
Outlook client) UNLESS you are running exchange server and have access to
the administrative settings to it.

Lots of people might have "clients" and not be running their own exchange
server or want to figure out who they need to talk to for autoriazation to
change the security settings for the one(s) their company runs.

I made the previous post because 1. the post prior to mine suggested zipping
the file, but I've found that zip files didn't work (at least for me), and
2. I've recently addressed a set of circumstances that may very well be
EXACTLY like the OP's (since he didn't give out details in terms of his
situation).

been known to prefer the simple approach of assuming all files of a certain
type are dangerous rather than going to the trouble of devising a solution.
I had one security "professional" bluntly inform me (in reference to a Word
form containing form fields) that "Macros are dangerous." Unfortunately,
there's not much you can do when such "experts" have management's ear.

If you use outlook (on the receiving end), I think you'll have trouble
even
if you zip them. You can use .jar files (an alternative archive format)
and
you should be ok. If you need a program to create .jar files, try IZarc
(google for it). I ran across it a year or so ago and have just stuck
with
it.

Good luck,

The Access database is just a simple .mdb file.

Find that, compress it using Winzip or similar tool, and email it if the
size is acceptable. Otherwise, you may need to transfer via FTP.
