Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Full Version for PC Logo
Posted on Jul 04, 2008

Outlook attachments We are running a new version of outlook, version 12 I think. Upon sending a .mdb file outlook has blocked the attachment. I have looked the net for a solution and found a possible way through the registry. Ihave tried this but when the last part is to be accessed get an auto discover icon and not the security one that is suposed to be there. This maybe because the info given is for earlier versions. Anyway I have tried this and it does not work, please can you help? Yours hopefully Leighton I cannot resend the info as . somthing else or compress before sending as original computer is now off line.

Hi Mr jones24,

Try zipping the file before you send it. I think Outlook has spotted that your trying to send a database file and is blocking it. When you zip it, outlook might not be able to peer through the zip file to see. I know it works on older versions of Outlook.

You can use the inbuilt Microsoft "Compressed Folder" zip tool, just right click on the file within windows and select "Send To -> Compressed "Zipped" Folder"

Or you could try 7zip, which is an excellent free zip utility

I am able to get the attment from a particular sender

Please explain your question further ...
"I am able to get the attment from a particular ... "
a particular what?

If you are unable to receive a particular attachment from an individual, it depends on the attachment. Microsoft Outlook Express strips attachments of Microsoft Files. That is if someone sends you a MS Excel spread sheet or Word document, Outlook Express will strip the attachment for security. There's no way around this. The fix is have the person send you their file in .ZIP format. Then you can unzip it locally.

Sending attachments in Outlook 2003

Try saving the document to your local drive first, then send the file as an attachment. When the file is opened from your Outlook, it resides only as a temp file while you are viewing it, then to try to send that temp file, it causes issues with outlook. Save the file first, then send it, but don't try to send the file from the temp view whilst opening the file that is still in another e-mail

I don't seem to be able to send photos by Kodak Easyshare e-mail even though I am on line and the address is correct.

  3. Click Insert File (the paperclip icon), locate your file through the Insert File box, click the file's name and then click the Insert button. If you wish to add multiple files from within the same folder, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking multiple files, then click the Insert button.

  5. Click Send.
In Outlook Express:
