Re: How do I receive an access database?

It is not the file size. Links to mdb files, akong with mdb, mde, and exe
attachments (and probably some others), are blocked by Exchange Server in my
situation. So much for self-extracting zip files.

I have only used recent versions of Outlook in conjunction with Exchange

that Outlook as a stand-alone program (on a home computer, for instance)
blocks all programs of a certain type, no matter what. I will
investigate further, but in any case thanks for the observation about the
alternate zip utility (I have found, as have you, that .zip files have
the same problems as the ..mdb files).

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).

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.

Need to get a database from a customer and would like them to email
it
to
me
is this possible? I had them try but I never received it. Thanks for
any
help.






I receive database files all the time with Outlook 2003. No special
settings. My guess is the file is to large. Some ISP's limit the size
to as little a 2 megabytes. No notice, no bounce they just drop them.
