Outlook and attachments, not OE

Hi

I did a search before posting and found the answer to my question for
Outlook Express, however this question is for Outlook

I attached a MS Access file to my outgoing email. I received the warning
about others using Outlook may not be able to access the attached file. I
decided to send anyway...

Now Outlook is unwilling to send the email and I cant get access to my
access file...surely I can choose to send and receive attachments?

Thanks
 
Hi,

As I am a systems developer using MS Access I run into this problem at work
all the time using Outlook 2002. There used to be a registry "fix" published
in the MS knowledge base -- at least in Outlook 2000 -- that allowed Outlook
to accept an MDB file. However, that would mean that all possible recipients
of MS Access files would need to tweak their registries, not the best of all
possible worlds.

What I now do is to rename the MDB file to have a "txt" extension and
instruct the recipient to rename it back to have an MDB extension after
he/she receives it. This method works well for me.

Hi, Alan. I will consider doing this. Bit of a pain when I receive similar
files from others that don't know about this work around...thats why I
started using OE again as I was having to ask the senders to re send and open
in OE to get at file

Cheers

Ask in a group with OUTLOOK in the title. Notice this group lacks
that word.
