Outlook blocks Access Attachments

[Guest]

I have a database in Access that I want to send through Outlook. The
recipient replied to my message saying Outlook had blocked the attachment.
When I went to help, Outlook says it always blocks Access files and this
setting can't be changed. (Go to help and type in "attachment blocking" for
more details.) Since both programs are under Office, why isn't sending ANY
Office document through Outlook seamless???

I use Windows XP SP2 and Office 2002.

See http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/blockedattachments.htm
Best is to send these type of attachments in a zip-format.
