Try going into tools, options, then the security tab. There's a check box you need to uncheck that tells you about blocking files that could potentially be a virus. Also, if you're using Gmail via pop, Gmail will not let you send executable files. This is a limitation on Gmail's part and/or not Outlook Express. Hope that helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ari To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 7:07 PM Subject: [access-uk] Outlook express attachments Hi guys, I get .zip and other attachments fine in outlook express, but my friend has sent me a .exe file, and I get the message that Outlook Express has blocked an unsafe attachment, it won't let me tab to the attachment field, how do I make this go away?
