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?
