Shortly after installing sp3 for Office we noticed that we
could not send an Access database through Outlook 2000.
The message:
This file may contain a virus that can be harmful to your
computer. You must save this file to disk before it can
be opened. It is important to be very certain that this
file is safe before you open it. It is labeled Unsafe
Attachments. The file does not send at all.

We use Exchange Server and this message only happenes with
systems running Office 2000 with SP/3 installed. We do
not think it is our server because the systems running
Office 97 can send and receive a database, any database.
We also checked our Virus detection application which is
McAfee, everything looks correct.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Louise
 
It's blocked by the security enhancements - see Microsoft
KN article 262631. A quick workaround is to zip the file
first. If you want a different workaround, check out KB
318515.
