Unsafe Attachments in Outlook 2000 1

[dk99]

Can anyone help me please.

I currently use outlook 2000 SR-1 and when I want to send or receive a mail with an MS Access attachment, or *.ink it tells me

"Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments"

and I now have no way of retrieving the file.

Any ideas of how I can get round this ?

I had the same problem using Outlook Express. All I had to do was to change my Security settings in the Tools>Options>Security tab. Since I don't use Outlook, I can't tell you if that would fix the problem for you.

Dan, you're in luck. There's a small freeware program that performs the same trick as Microsoft describes (except with a GUI interface instead of mucking about in the registry) called Outlook XP Unlocker. It's VERY easy to use; you can enable/disable whatever you want to, whenever you want to. Download it here:

Or simply do a web search for "Outlook XP Unlocker."

Good luck!

Matt,

Do you know of a similar one for Outlook 2000, as I have tried to install the XP one, but it wont let me ?

The Tour de Force Outlook Security Addin may be worth looking into, it adds a File Permissions tab to the Options menu inside Outlook 2000. Can be downloaded from
