Outlook seems to have a mind of its own on blocking email attachments. While their intent is good, I often have to email some MS Access databases, and it is a royal pain in the rear to have to rename the .mdb file, have it emailed to me, get it, rename it back to .mdb so I can work with it, work with it, rename it back, send it back, rename it again, etc.

Is there a way to turn off this outlook "feature", especially if it is from a trusted source?

Hi,
These are more thatn likely blocked at the mail server end and left upto a network administrator to decide if they can be blocked or not.
Heres the express way:

And outlook 2002:
Make sure Outlook isn't running, and choose Start | Run. Enter Regedit, choose OK, and in Regedit, navigate to
HKEY_ CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security.
Then choose Edit | New | String Value and name it Level1Remove. Right-click on Level1Remove, choose Modify, and for its value enter the list of extensions you want to allow, using semicolons to separate the items. Close Regedit and you're done. Outlook will stop blocking files with the extensions on the list.
