My boss' outlook is blocking access to an Access database Im tryn to send him as an attachment.

There is no size limit set for this account on the Exchange server. He has no problem with other attachments. I've checked and changed his security, but Outlook wont let this attachment by. I can receive the attachment with no problems.

Is there some option somewhere I haven't looked?
 
What versions are we talking about?

2000/98 would allow it, XP will not (until you change the setting).

I have not found a way to send Access files across Outlook 2002 unless I rename it to .txt or something else. Outlook has protection in it so that you can't receive files that could have a virus. Since Access contains code that could be dangerous, it blocks them. Just rename it and then have your boss rename it back.
