Re: How do I receive an access database?

I guess I understand the need. A lot of people just open any and all
attachments directly from the e-mail. I tried to e-mail some mde files
after renaming them as txt files. The e-mail advised people (in all caps,
no less) to read the directions before doing anything, and provided
directions for copying and renaming the file, but sure enough several people
told me that they had tried to open the file and saw only gibberish.
Still, I wish there was an easier way than registry edits to accept
responsibility for my own communications.

Oh, it does indeed! :-{(

You can get into the Registry Editor and override or change this
behavior, if you're brave enough to (by analogy) tinker with the fuel
injector controller of a car moving down the highway at full speed...
well, it's not THAT bad but it's still risky.
