But they wouldn't self execute would they?  You would still have to open the
Access DB first before there were problems.  Putting the ZIP restriction in
there wouldn't really protect any farther, just one more step to get to the
bad macros.

Or am I missing something here?  Can the MDB file be made to execute
automatically just by receiving the e-mail?

What about Word and Excel files?  They can also contain macros, can they be
made to execute automatically just by opening the e-mail?

Thanks,

because you can put macros in it and macros can be vicious.
